Traditional Aeschylus and modern Euripides compete in Frogs. In Assemblywomen Athenian women plot against male misgovernance. The humor and morality of Wealth made it the most popular of Aristophanes' plays until the Renaissance. |bAristophanes, one of the world's greatest comic dramatists, has been admired since antiquity for his iridescent wit and beguiling fantasy, exuberant language, and brilliant satire of the social, intellectual, and political life of Athens at its height. This is the fourth and final volume in the new Loeb Classical Library edition of his plays. Frogs was produced in 405 BCE, shortly after the deaths of Sophocles and Euripides. Dionysus, the patron god of theater, journeys to the underworld to retrieve Euripides. There he is recruited to judge a contest between the traditional Aeschylus and the modern Euripides, a contest that yields both sparkling comedy and insight on ancient literary taste. In Assemblywomen Athenian women plot to save Athens from male misgovernance. They transfer power to themselves and institute a new social order in which all inequalities based on wealth, age, and beauty are eliminated--with raucously comical results. The gentle humor and straightforward morality of Wealth made it the most popular of Aristophanes' plays from classical times to the Renaissance. Here the god Wealth is cured of his blindness; his newfound ability to distinguish good people from bad brings playfully portrayed social consequences. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 546 Text in Greek with English translation on facing pages. 588 Description based on print version record. 600 00 Aristophanes |vTranslations into English. |=^A36081 650 0 Greek drama (Comedy) |vTranslations into English. |=^A73943 650 7 Greek drama (Comedy) |0(OCoLC)947136. |2fast 650 7 Greek drama. |0(OCoLC)947127. |2fast 651 7 Greece |zAthens. |0(OCoLC)1204474. |2fast |?UNAUTHORIZED 700 1 Henderson, Jeffrey, |d1946- |eeditor, |etranslator. |=^A77457 740 02 Assemblywomen. 740 02 Wealth. 776 08 |iPrint version:Aristophanes. |tFrogs.
