Aristophanes’ Frogs (Oxford Approaches to Classical Literature) by Mark Griffith
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 3 MB
Overview: Aristophanes is widely credited with having elevated the classical art of comedy to the level of legitimacy and recognition that only tragedy had hitherto achieved, and producing some of the most intriguing works of literature to survive from classical Greece in the process. Among them, Frogs has a unique appeal; written and performed in 405 BCE, the comedy won first prize in that year’s Lenaea festival competition and was re-performed soon thereafter–a rare occurrence for comedies at the time. Frogs has been admired and quoted by readers and critics ever since, a testament to its timeless appeal; it remains among the most approachable of Aristophanes’ plays, as well as perhaps the richest of all in insights it provides into ancient Greek cultural attitudes and values.
