Description
Aristophanis Fabvlae II by Aristophanes and N. G. Wilson is a new edition of the ancient Greek playwright's works, replacing an earlier Oxford Classical Text published in 1900-1. This updated version incorporates recent discoveries about the transmission of the text from antiquity to the age of printing. The editor has carefully considered the available evidence when reconstructing the plays' texts, taking into account both well-established conjectures and less commonly accepted suggestions. In a few passages, the editor has also offered their own interpretations. This edition provides a more comprehensive understanding of Aristophanes' works, which are notable for their preservation despite being written in a period where tragedy was better documented than comedy.
