Notă biografică
Aristophanes ( c. 446 - c. 386 BC), son of Philippus, was a comic playwright of ancient Athens. Eleven of his forty plays survive virtually complete. Also known as "The Father of Comedy", Aristophanes depicted the life of ancient Athens and ridiculed authority leading to a case of slander brought by Plato which led to Socrates' death. Aristophanes' second play,The Babylonians (now lost), was denounced too, this time by Cleon but details of any subsequent trial are unknown and Aristophanes went on to caricature Cleon in his later plays, especially in The Knights.
Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Aristophanes is the only surviving representative of Greek Old Comedy, an exuberant form of festival drama which flourished in Athens during the fifth century BC. One of the most original playwrights in the entire Western tradition, his comedies are remarkable for their brilliant combination of fantasy and satire, their constantly inventive manipulation of language, and their use of absurd characters and plots to expose his society's institutions and values to the bracing challenge of laughter. This vibrant collection of verse translations of Aristophanes' works combines historical accuracy with a sensitive attempt to capture the rich dramatic and literary qualities of Aristophanic comedy. The volume presents Clouds, with its famous caricature of the philosopher Socrates; Women at the Thesmophoria (or Thesmophoriazusae), a work which mixes elaborate parody of tragedy with a great deal of transvestite burlesque; and Frogs, in which the dead tragedians Aeschylus and Euripides engage in a vituperative contest of 'literary criticism' of each other's plays. Featuring expansive introductions to each play and detailed explanatory notes, the volume also includes an illuminating appendix, which provides information and selected fragments from the lost plays of Aristophanes.

Recenzii
"Peter Meineck draws on his vast experience as both theatre producer and classical scholar in this lively and thoroughly contemporary translation of Aristophanes's rambunctious but heady Frogs. In highlighting Aristophanes's own concern for spectacle, stage action, and musicality, Meineck offers flexible guidance not only for modern producers of this comedy but also for readers eager to visualize an Aristophanic play in its original setting and to marvel at its enduring comic brilliance."
—Ralph M. Rosen, Vartan Gregorian Professor of the Humanities and Classical Studies, University of Pennsylvania
"Meineck's edition of Frogs is a fantastic resource for students, teachers, and anyone interested in ancient theatre. His Introduction skillfully condenses an impressive amount of information about ancient history, myth, and theatre, contextualizing the play in a clear and accessible manner. His crisp and modern translation imaginatively brings the text and music of Aristophanes to life for today’s audiences."
—Rosa Andújar, Deputy Director of Liberal Arts and Lecturer in Liberal Arts, King’s College London
"Peter Meineck’s new translation of Aristophanes' Frogs offers expert and funny solutions to [the many challenges of translating this play], and he shines most brightly when it comes to the comic playwright’s particularly hard-to-tackle choral odes and monody, as he rewrites Aristophanes' lyrics to tunes by AC/DC, Wu-Tang Clan, and Bruce Springsteen. While reading Meineck's latest translation, I had YouTube open the entire time, tapping my feet to 'Thunder Struck,' 'Triumph,' and 'The Rising.' . . . Meineck's primary objective, as always, is creating a translation that can be performed (he is founder of Aquila, a theater company that is known for original music, among other things), and his most recent offering, with its attention to music, stands out from other translations of Frogs, because Meineck represents the different musical styles of Aeschylus and Euripides in creative and modern ways. . . . Meineck's Frogs provoked such a rousing discussion in my grad-level class that I look forward to assigning it in my undergraduate classes as well. So, grab a copy of Meineck's Frogs, open YouTube, and soon you will be humming Europe's 'The Final Countdown,' but with a slight twist, after Meineck, as 'the final smackdown'."
—Laurialan Reitzammer, University of Colorado at Boulder, in Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"[T]he introduction contains all a student or teacher would need to fully understand the play. Firstly, the reader is provided with a clear and concise historical and cultural background to the play spread over 15 pages. This also includes sub-divided information on all the conventions of Old Comedy including festivals, the theatre building, masks, costumes, props, music and staging. Secondly, Meineck provides the reader with a 36-page character information list. . . . I found this to be a really useful resource for students of all abilities in my classes. . . . For those . . . who would like to start their exploration into Greek comedy, or for those more seasoned readers looking for an interesting take on the work of Aristophanes, this is a worthwhile read."
