Beskrivelse
An Athenian Farmer - fed up with the unending war against the Spartans - feeds so much of the shit the war has brought him to a dung-beetle that he is able to saddle it up and ride it - flying to the house of Zeus - there to plead the case for Peace...
This pocketbook edition of one of the ancient world's most neglected comedies presents for modern readers, singers, players, and audiences a rhyming verse adaptation designed to convey something of the emotional impact - rather than just the dry literal sense - of Aristophanes upon his audience.
Originally published as an appetizer to a Greek-English interlineal version of the play - with which it was coupled in a single, largeformat volume - this pocketbook edition has been slimmed down, but still includes the customized glossary of explanatory notes from the earlier edition, offering tidbits and insights once only privy to those with fluency in the Attic Greek of ancient Athens.
...and for those wishing to know the dry literal sense of the words as Aristophanes wrote them, the Greek-English interlineal version of the play has been slimmed-down too, and is available as a stand-alone text in the pocketbook companion to the present edition...
