A brand-new translation of the world's greatest satirist.

Male actors playing women in ancient Greek comedy intended to reveal their nature as actors as part of a cultural identity. The dramatic writings of Aristophanes typify this agenda. Women in Aristophanic Comedy examines the representation of women and other female figures in the plays of Aristophanes, focusing mainly on Lysistrata, Thesmophoriazusae, and Eccleiazusae. It demonstrates the relationship between ancient and contemporary ideas about theatrical representation and gender identity, and aims to enhance our understanding of the cultural and performance dimensions of Aristophanic comedy.

By examining linguistic variation in Aristophanic comedy, Andreas Willi opens up a new perspective on intra-dialectal diversity in Classical Attic Greek. A representative range of registers, technical languages, sociolects, and (comic) idiolects is described and analysed. Stylistic and statistical observations are combined and supplemented by typological comparisons with material drawn from sociolinguistic research on modern languages. The resulting portrayal of the Attic dialect deepens our understanding of various socio-cultural phenomena reflected in Aristophanes' work, such as the spread of 'sophistic' culture, the re-evaluation of gender roles, and the status of foreigners in Athenian society.

W. Lucas Collins' "Aristophanes" ambitiously examines the comedic genius of one of classical Athens' most significant playwrights. Through a meticulous analysis of Aristophanes' socio-political commentary, Collins delves into the intricate layers of satire, parody, and humor that characterize the playwright's works. The literary style is sharp and insightful, employing a blend of literary criticism and historical context to illuminate the nuanced relationship between Aristophanes and the turbulent society of ancient Greece. As Collins navigates through the plays, he offers a deep exploration of the themes of war, democracy, and the human condition, bridging the ancient and modern worlds with his keen interpretive lens. W. Lucas Collins was steeped in classical studies, holding esteemed degrees in both philosophy and literature. His profound appreciation for the dynamics of comedic writing and the socio-political landscape of ancient Greece no doubt informed this rigorous examination. Through a career marked by his dedication to uncovering the complexities of classic texts, Collins crafts a narrative that resonates with the timelessness of Aristophanes' insights. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, enthusiasts, and students of classical literature. Collins' engaging prose not only invites readers into the world of Aristophanes but also encourages a critical reflection on the enduring power of satire and humor in challenging the status quo. A must-read for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of ancient Greek literature and its relevance today.

The work of the 'other' comic poets of classical Athens, those who competed with, and in some cases defeated, their (eventually) better-known fellow comedian, Aristophanes, has almost eluded the historical record. The poetry of Cratinus, Phrynichos, Eupolis and the rest has survived only in tantalising, often tiny, fragments and citations. Modern studies in this field have themselves often been difficult of access. Here an exceptional cast of scholars, including most of the leading international authorities, provides a set of 28 interpretative essays to cover every one of these 'other' poets of Athenian Old Comedy for whom significant evidence survives. The work includes a comprehensive bibliography, and is a landmark in the study of Old Comedy.

Aristophanes was clearly anxious about the role of the sophists and the “new” education in Athens. After the perceived failure of Clouds in 423 and its subsequent, unperformed revision, Aristophanes, this book argues, returned in 414 with Birds, a continuation and deepening of his critique found in Clouds. Peisetaerus or “persuader of his comrades,” the protagonist of Birds, though an old man, is clearly a student of Socrates’ phrontisterion. Unlike Socrates, however, he is political and ambitious and he understands the whole of human nature, both rational and irrational. Peisetaerus employs the various deconstructive techniques of Socrates and his allies (which is summed up on the comic sage in the image of “father-beating”) to overturn not just human society, but, with the help of his new allies, the divine and musical birds, the cosmos. After his new gods and bird city, Cloudcuckooland, are actually established, however, the hero re-introduces the “old” ways - justice, moderation, and obedience to law – but now under his personal authority, and thereby becomes “the highest of the gods.” Thus, the author postulates, in 414 Aristophanes has come to acknowledge the potency of the apparent civic-minded turn (or element) of the sophists, while aware of the self-aggrandizing nature of their ambition. Peisetaerus, unlike Socrates, is successful: he is establishing a just polis and cosmos and, therefore, must be victorious. But the consequence or cost of this success is illustrated through the Bird Chorus. After the polis is founded, the birds never again sing of their musical reciprocity with the Muses, the source of melodies for men. The birds are now political and the policemen of human beings. The sophist-run cosmos has lost its music. The new Zeus is an ugly bird-mutant. The gods and all nomoi have lost their beauty, honor, and reverential nature. Birds, in its finale, hilariously, but boldlyilluminates the inherent tension between philosophy (reason) and poetry (divinely-inspired tradition).
