Philogelos (Ancient Greek: Φιλόγελως) is the oldest - TopicsExpress



          

Philogelos (Ancient Greek: Φιλόγελως) is the oldest existing collection of jokes. The collection is written in Greek, and because the celebration of a thousand years of Rome is mentioned in joke 62, the collection perhaps dates from after that event in 248 CE. These jokes give us a keen insight into a world of philosophers, prophets, astrologers, soldiers and citizens of extreme cultural difference. As well as realizing that this humor is the root of our present day Romantic society. You can down load it here: grbs.library.duke.edu/article/download/14421/3801
