vis comica

Meaning

Noun

Origin

  • Originating from an inaccurate interpretation of verses attributed to Julius Caesar: “Lenibus atque utinam scriptis adiuncta foret vis, Comica ut aequato virtus polleret honore Cum Graecis [...]”. An erroneous interpunction lead to mistaking cōmica as tied to vīs rather than to virtūs.
