An actor dressed as the eirōn character Xanthias in Aristophanes' The Frogs
In the theatre of ancient Greece, the eirōn (Ancient Greek: εἴρων) "dissembler" was one of various stock characters in comedy.[1] The eirōn usually succeeded by bringing down his braggart opponent (the alazṓn "boaster") by understating his own abilities.[2] The eiron lends his name to the related concept of irony.
