Beschreibung

Aristophanes' sophisticated comedy on the style and role of the plays of the modern Euripides vis a vis the traditional Aeschylus, contains his most brilliant parodies. These are asset in the fantastic and farcical context of Dionysus, disguised as Herakles, with his memorably cheeky slave Xanthias, descending into Hades to resurrect Euripides but returning instead with Aeschylus.

Stanford's edition of Frogs includes introduction, Greek text and commentary. It contains a substantial introduction on the play's background, and interpretation. The commentary is detailed on matters of language, metre and content, and a bibliography of further reading is provided.

Über den Autor

Aristophanes (c. 446-386 BC) was Athens's greatest comic playwright, whose plays define the genre of Old Comedy. His was a precise, poetic vision articulated in pin-sharp images, his works being some of the most revealing about the society for which he wrote. Although only eleven of the some forty plays he wrote survive, his unique blend of slapstick, fantasy, bawdy and political satire provide us with a vivid picture of the ancient Athenians - their social mores, their beliefs and their exuberant sense of occasion.
