The Birds of Aristophanous : Acted at Athens at the Great Dionysia B. C. 414; The Greek Text Revised, With a Translation Into Corresponding Metres Introduction and Commentary PDF
by Benjamin Bickley Rogers
Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
So again, although the Athenian dependencies on the coasts of Macedonia and Thrace were in a chronic state of disturbance, and were giving some trouble at this very time, yet the advice to the reckless young Athenian to fly off to Thrace-ward regions and fight there would seem more naturally adapted to a time when those regions were the chief seat of Athenian warfare, than to a time when the entire attention of the Athenian people was directed to the military operations in Sicily. And the very remarkable verbal allusions to the History of Herodotus would seem more suitable to a period when that History was still fresh in the hands and thoughts of the poet and his audience.
