Written and performed in 405 BCE and deeply embedded in that specific cultural moment, Froqd won first prize in that year s festival competition and has been admired by readers and critics ever since, a testament to its timeless appeal. In addition to its hilarious language, stage antics, and plot, Frqqj provides modern readers with an unparalleled range of insights into ancient Greek mentalities, exploring and critiquing the Athenians ideas about drama and music, citizenship, slavery, and the possibilities ol personal salvation and hie after death. With this up-to-date and engaging account, Mark Griffith places Froip in its original historical and cultural context, while underscoring the play s originality in its relation to parallel developments in tragedy and ancient Greek aesthetics in general. This volume provides not only a detailed analysis of the play itself and its reception but also a succinct introduction to Greek comedy overall, making it an invaluable companion to ancient theater for students and general readers alike.
