Aristophanes is the only surviving representative of Greek Old Comedy, an exuberant form of festival drama which flourished in Athens during the fifth century BC. One of the most original playwrights in the entire Western tradition, his comedies are remarkable for their brilliant combination of fantasy and satire, their constantly inventive manipulation of language, and their use of absurd characters and plots to expose his society's institutions and values to the bracing challenge of laughter. This vibrant collection of verse translations of Aristophanes' works combines historical accuracy with a sensitive attempt to capture the rich dramatic and literary qualities of Aristophanic comedy. The volume presents Clouds, with its famous caricature of the philosopher Socrates; Women at the Thesmophoria (or Thesmophoriazusae), a work which mixes elaborate parody of tragedy with a great deal of transvestite burlesque; and Frogs, in which the dead tragedians Aeschylus and Euripides engage in a vituperative contest of 'literary criticism' of each other's plays. Featuring expansive introductions to each play and detailed explanatory notes, the volume also includes an illuminating appendix, which provides information and selected fragments from the lost plays of Aristophanes.

Oxford Approaches to Classical Literature introduces individual works of Greek and Latin literature to readers who are approaching them for the first time. Each volume sets the work in its literary and historical context and aims to offer a balanced and engaging assessment of its content, artistry, and purpose. A brief survey of the influence of the work upon subsequent generations is included to demonstrate its enduring relevance and power. All quotations from the original are translated into English. Aristophanes was the comic mastermind of classical Athens, and Frogs is widely regarded as his most brilliant and multi-faceted play. Written and performed in 405 BCE and deeply embedded in that specific cultural moment, Frogs won first prize in that year's festival competition and has been-admired by readers and critics ever since, a testament to its timeless appeal. In addition to its hilarious language, stage antics, and plot, Frogs provides modern readers with an unparalleled range of insights into ancient Greek mentalities, exploring and critiquing the Athenians' ideas about drama and music, citizenship, slavery, and the possibilities of personal salvation and life after death. With this up-to-date and engaging account, Mark Griffith places Frogs in its original historical and cultural context, while underscoring the play's originality in its relation to parallel developments in tragedy and ancient Greek aesthetics in general. This volume provides not only a detailed analysis of the play itself and its reception but also to succinct introduction to Greek comedy overall, making it an invaluable companion to ancient theater for students and general readers alike.
