Aristophanes: Thesmophoriazusae, Paperback / softback Book

Aristophanes: Thesmophoriazusae Paperback / softback

Part of the Aris & Phillips Classical Texts series

Paperback / softback

Description

Thesmophoriazusae is perhaps the funniest of all Aristophanes’ comedies, in which gender inversion and transvestism run riot as the tragic dramatist Euripides is made to take part in a hilarious spoof on some of his own favourite plot lines, with his own life at stake as well as that of his loyal and much-put-upon old relative.

This edition offers a freshly constituted text making use of recently published papyri, together with the first fully annotated English translation there has been of this play.

The volume presents the original Greek text with facing-page translation, commentary and notes.
