Summary:
This book provides an accessible introduction to each of
Aristophanes' plays, focusing particularly on their relationship to
Athenian politics and life, and to the effect that Aristophanes hoped
to have on his audience. All passages quoted from them are given in
new verse translations, and readers do not need any knowledge of
Greek. But scholarly problems are not ignored, and specialists will
find here both new suggestions and summaries of different
interpretations with recent bibliographical information in the notes.
