Nomen Omen (‘A name, A fate’) is a key concept in antiquity, specifically in Iambic poetry and Ancient Comedy, where speaking names, epithets and nicknames are usually coined, distorted or re-invented for personal abuse and mockery. A few examples will show that Aristophanic names symbolically ‘stand for’ their characters’ destiny, but also intertwine with other names and themes and with the entire context of each comedy.

Abstract
Nomen Omen (‘A name, A fate’) is a key concept in antiquity, specifically in Iambic poetry and Ancient Comedy, where speaking names, epithets and nicknames are usually coined, distorted or re-invented for personal abuse and mockery. A few examples will show that Aristophanic names symbolically ‘stand for’ their characters’ destiny, but also intertwine with other names and themes and with the entire context of each comedy.
