A classical Greek comedy about Dionysus travelling to the underworld to bring back Aeschylus. ( ) I thought it was about time that I did something about my lack of a "classical" education and found this in the bargains section so why not. I'd tried once before......attending a production of "The birds" which was produced by my Philosophy lecturer. Suffice to say, I had no idea what was going on and was profoundly bored. So same playwright and an animal theme....what did I have to lose apart from an hour or two of my time. Ok. I've read it and even read the accompanying notes which were pretty helpful. Clearly, it would have even been more helpful to be a native Athenian at the time the plays were being produced...because a lot of the humour is clearly focused on well known individuals etc. Even the audience is berated for their shortcomings. However, I'm afraid that the subtlety of the plot with Aeschylus as the old master dramatist being offset against the newer trendier Euripides....and Aeschylus seemingly coming out on top. I must say that I was expecting a lot more from the frogs but they only seem to appear during the boat ride across the lake with the boatman Charon. And that's it. Nor do they seem to add a great deal of content. So am I any the wiser for my reading? Not much. I think I will have to read a few more of these classic plays and do the background research to understand what they were really writing about. There was the odd spot where even I could pick up the humour ...such as when they are trying to prove their immortality by not feeling pain when whipped. But (like most humour) it doesn't survive translation or change in context too well. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt but it's hard going so only one star from me. Gracioso en ocasiones, la partes con los siervos son buenisimas. Pero muchas de las bromas se refieren a trozos de obras de la epoca. Mi edicion afortunadamente tenia muchas notas a pie de pagina pero aun asi era muy dificil seguir las bromas. Mas bien los insultos que se tiraban los unos a los otros. No me cabe duda que en la epoca fue lo maximo pero ahora mismo o al menos para mi sin tener conocimiento de las otras obras me perdi las partes mas graciosas. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Among extant Greek comedies, the Frogs is unique for the light it throws on Classical Greek attitudes toward tragedy and literature in general. It merits a much more extensive commentary than it has so far received, and the establishment of the text itself has rested for over a century on collations which were inadequate and inaccurate. At the same time, its most problematic passages have been the subject, in recent years, of more scholarly articles than those of any other Greek play. In this introduction, edition, and commentary, Sir Kenneth Dover presents the relevant data, arguments, and considerations as fully as can reasonably be done in one volume.
