title: Bomolochus
text: # Bomolochus
  
  In the theatre of ancient Greece, the bômolochus (Ancient Greek: βωμολόχος) was one of three stock characters in comedy, corresponding to the English buffoon. The bômolochus is marked by his wit, his crudity of language, and his frequent non-illusory audience address.
  
  In modern Greek, the word refers to a foul-mouthed person.
