The literary forms of invective are varied and include epigrams (by Martial) and polemical articles and speeches (Ciceroâs Philippics). Invective was employed by Aristophanes in the comedies Knights and Clouds, by Catullus in his lyrics, by Erasmus in Praise of Folly, and by Diderot in Rameauâs Nephew.
