See all formats and editions

This rollicking new translation of Aristophanes' comic masterpiece is rendered in blank verse for dialogue and in lyric meters and free verse for the songs.

Appended commentary essays-on Athenian democracy, ancient Greek warfare, Athenian women, and Greek Comedy-offer lively and informative discussions not only of Aristophanes, but of the broader fifth-century social, political, and cultural context as well.
