Lysistrata de Aristophanes

Lysistrata: Oberon Classics

Autor Aristophanes Adaptat de Ranjit Bolt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 dec 2005
Lysistrata, frustrated at the ongoing violence of the civil war, convinces the women of Athens to deny their husbands sex, until a treaty for peace has been signed. Aristophanes is astonishingly ahead of his time in this, probably his greatest and most enduring comedy.

Notă biografică

Aristophanes, active in Athens during the fifth and early fourth centuries BCE, is the greatest surviving playwright of ancient Greek Old Comedy. His plays are central documents of classical theatre, Athenian political culture, and comic satire, combining public argument with fantasy, parody, obscenity, lyric invention, and direct attacks on the personalities and institutions of his day. Works such as Lysistrata, The Clouds, The Birds, The Frogs, and The Wasps preserve a vivid comic record of democratic Athens under pressure from war, intellectual change, and civic rivalry.Although little is known with certainty about Aristophanes' private life, his surviving comedies show a dramatist of extraordinary verbal energy and political confidence. He satirised generals, philosophers, poets, jurors, public policy, and the habits of ordinary citizens, often turning immediate Athenian controversies into theatrical structures that still read as sharp, strange, and alive. His work remains indispensable for readers of Greek comedy, classical drama, political satire, ancient literature, and the history of theatre.

Recenzii

Henderson's Lysistrata is lively, cheerfully vulgar, and genuinely funny…

—Philip Holt, The Classical Outlook

Henderson’s English translation of Lysistrata, the most popular of Aristophanes' plays, appeals to the modern reader because of its lively and imaginative plot, strong and memorable heroine, good jokes, and appeal for peace and tolerance between nations and between the sexes. Jeffrey Henderson, noted Greek scholar, puts the work in historical and cultural context in his comprehensive introduction. Suggestions for further reading, notes, and map are also included. This Focus Classical Library translation of Lysistrata has been staged numerous times.
