  <default_description>A poet who hated an age of decadence, armed conflict, and departure from tradition, Aristophanes' comic genius influenced the political and social order of his own fifth-century Athens. But as Moses Hadas writes in his introduction to this volume, 'His true claim upon our attention is as the most brilliant and artistic and thoughtful wit our world has known.' Includes The Acharnians, The Birds, The Clouds, Ecclesiazusae, The Frogs, The Knights, Lysistrata, Peace, Plutus, Thesmophoriazusae, and The Wasps.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[What I appreciated most about this version of <em>Aristophanes</em> was the effort gone into the translation by Paul Roche.  The Introduction briefly lays out Roche's difficulties in maintaining the subtilties from a polysyllabic language into one seldomly so.

Other reviewers have commented on the weakness of the translation, and as they are familiar with Greek and I am not, I tend to defer to them. The main problem I had was Hadas' insisting on picking translations that r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44509714">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Aristophanes was the master of ancient Greek comedy writing between 427 BC and 388 BC.  The first thing that struck me was the bawdy humor.  I was also surprised at some of the radical ideas in his plays (even if he is ultimately warning against some of these trends).  There are the anti-war sentime...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13966387">more...</a>]]></body>
