grbs-5931	Welsh, D.	The Chorus of Aristophanes’ Babylonians	1983	14	.pdf	application/pdf	7295	284	58	In short, provided only that the younger Zopyrus had reached Athens by 427, he could have served as an attractive 'prototype' for the chorus of Babylonians in Aristophanes' play. The fragments of the Babylonians are short and they do not yield any examples of parody of Herodotus, so it cannot be proved that Aristophanes derived his inspiration for the chorus from Zopyrus' his grandfather's deeds some ninety years earlier as the historian.	cache/grbs-5931.pdf	txt/grbs-5931.txt
