Description
The fragments of Aristophanes' lost plays offer a unique glimpse into the world of ancient Athens. This collection, part of the Loeb Classical Library series, brings together nearly a thousand surviving fragments of the poet's work, providing a wealth of information about his ever-astonishing comic vitality and the society he satirized. Each fragmentary play is prefaced by a summary of what can be inferred about its plot, characters, themes, theatricality, and topical significance. This edition also includes ancient reports about Aristophanes' life, works, and influence on later comic tradition. With Jeffrey Henderson's new translation, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the poet's world and the enduring power of his comedic vision. Hardcover, 576 pages.
