Abstract
The present paper attempts to show a textual contact between Demosthenes and Old Comedy in Or. 18.267 and 19.245: discussion of the two passages (the latter one plays an important role in the frame of the ancient rhetorical theory of parody) will be followed by the suggestion of a deeper link between a section of the False Embassy and Aristophanes' Frogs , in terms not only of verbal echoes but also of common rhetorical motifs and strategy.
