The Frogs

Aristophanes

The Frogs tells the story of the god Dionysus, despairing of the state of Athens' tragedians, and allegedly recovering from the disastrous Battle of Arginusae. He travels to Hades to bring Euripides back from the dead. He brings along his slave Xanthias, who is smarter, stronger, more rational, more prudent, and braver than Dionysus.

Recenzii

Henderson has produced a charming translation of one of Aristophanes' most beloved plays. [This translation] will be useful for Greekless readers (undergraduates or general audiences) who will not require the Greek text. Henderson's detailed introduction in particular will be quite valuable for undergraduate or general readers as well. - Erin K. Moodie, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2009.01.32
