Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A comedy about tragedy and a play about playmaking, Aristophanes' Frogs (405 BCE) is perhaps the most popular of ancient comedies. This new introduction guides students through the play, its themes and contemporary contexts, and its reception history. Frogs offers sustained engagement with the Athenian literary scene, with the politics of Athens at the end of the Peloponnesian War, and with the religious understanding of the fifth-century city. It presents the earliest direct criticism of theatre and a detailed description of the Underworld, and also dramatizes the place of Mystery cults in the religious life of Athens and shows the political concerns that galvanized the citizens.It is also genuinely funny, showcasing a range of comic techniques, including literary and musical parody, political invective, grotesque distortion, wordplay, prop comedy, and funny costumes. Frogs has inspired literary works by Henry Fielding, George Bernard Shaw, and Tom Stoppard.This book explores all of these features in a series of short chapters designed to be accessible to a new reader of ancient comedy. It proceeds linearly through the play, addressing a range of issues, but paying particular attention to stagecraft and performance. It also offers a bold new interpretation of the play, suggesting that the action of Frogs was not the first time Euripides and Aeschylus had competed against each other.

A very scarce copy, rarely found on the marker in such lovely condition.Both comedies by ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes.'The Frogs' follows Dyonisus as he travels to Hades to bright Euripides back from the dead, bringing with him his slave Xnathias, smarter and braver than himself.'The Birds' was acclaimed by modern critics as a perfectly realised fantasy, particularly for its mimicry and the gaiety of its songs. It follows the story of Pisthetaerus, who convinces the birds to create a city in the sky to regain their status as the original gods - so he could become a god himself and take over Zeus' role as the mightiest of gods.In the original publisher's quarter cloth binding over marbled boards.
