Summary:
Thesmophoriazusae is perhaps the funniest of all Aristophanes'
comedies, in which gender inversion and transvestism run riot as the
tragic dramatist Euripides is made to take part in a hilarious spoof
on some of his own favourite plot lines, with his own life at stake
as well as that of his own loyal and much-put-upon old relative. This
edition offers a freshly constituted text making use of papyri
published within the last few years, together with the first fully
annotated English translation there has been of this play.
Notes:
Greek text, parallel English translation; notes in English.
