Aristophanes of Athens (ca. 446–386 BCE), 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. He wrote at least forty plays, of which eleven have survived complete.
The general introduction that begins Volume I reviews Aristophanes’s career and brings current scholarly insights to bear on the intriguing question of the comic poet as a political force.
