Collecting three comedies that show Aristophanes tackling the consequences of war & social upheaval in Athens with his characteristic wit Lysistrata & Other Plays" is translated from the Greek with an introduction & notes by Alan H. Sommerstein in " Penguin Classics". Writing at a time of political & social crisis in Athens Aristophanes was an eloquent yet bawdy challenger to the demagogue & the sophist. In Lysistrata the titular heroine persuades the women of Greece to withhold sex from their husbands forcing them to end the Peloponnesian War; & in " The Archanians" a lone peasant enters into a private peace treaty with the Spartans much to the chagrin of his fellow Athenians. The darker comedy of " The Clouds" satirises Athenian philosophers " Socrates" in particular & reflects the uncertainties of a generation in which all traditional religious & ethical beliefs were being challenged. For this edition Alan H. Sommerstein has completely revised his translation of the three plays bringing out the full nuances of Aristophanes ribald humour & intricate wordplay with a new introduction explaining the historical & cultural background to the plays. Aristophanes (c.4 45-386 BC) was probably born in Athens. Little is known about his life but there is a portrait of him in " Platos Symposium". He was twice threatened with prosecution in the 420s for his outspoken attacks on the prominent politician Cleon but in 405 he was publicly honoured & crowned for promoting Athenian civic unity in " The Frogs". Aristophanes had his first comedy produced when he was about twenty-one & wrote forty plays in all. The eleven surviving plays of Aristophanes are published in the " Penguin Classics" series as " The Birds & Other Plays" " Lysistrata & Other Plays" " The Wasps & Other Plays" & " The Frogs & Other Plays". If you enjoyed " Lysistrata & Other Plays" you might like Aristophanes " The Birds & Other Plays" also available in " Penguin Classics"." ...
