Download or read book Aristophanes and the Political Parties at Athens Classic Reprint written by Maurice Croiset and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aristophanes and the Political Parties at Athens In this volume the attentive reader will find, not only a very scholarly treatment of the difficult question, so often discussed, of Aristophanes' attitude toward the political parties of his time and of the political purpose of his comedies, but also a very vivid account of many of the phases of Athenian life which he has satirized or held up to ridicule. I cherish the hope that this book will lead some of its readers to refresh their school-day memories of Attica's brilliant comic poet, and others to make the acquaintance, at first hand, or through translation, of one of the most original and enter taining geniuses that ancient culture can boast of. In rendering the quotations from the plays into English I have made frequent use of Mr. Benjamin Bickley Rogers' masterly metrical translation and of the refreshing notes to Dr. W. W. Merry's edition of the plays. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Aristophanes, Considered in Relation to Athenian Politics Clough, or by Stewart and Long, but I have varied them considerably in places with the object of a more literal rendering. The quotations from Aristophanes follow mainly the Bohn translation, a literal prose rendering of that author being, in my opinion, Of more value than verse. For the extracts from the Athenian Constitution I have followed the rendering, with one or two slight verbal altera tions, of Sir F. G. Kenyon. I have made use of English in preference to the Greek for these quotations, because I am in hope that this book will prove Of some interest to the general reader.

Download or read book Aristophanes the Democrat written by Keith Sidwell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a new interpretation of the nature of Old Comedy and its place at the heart of Athenian democratic politics. Professor Sidwell argues that Aristophanes and his rivals belonged to opposing political groups, each with their own political agenda. Through disguised caricature and parody of their rivals' work, the poets expressed and fuelled the political conflict between their factions. Professor Sidwell rereads the principal texts of Aristophanes and the fragmented remains of the work of his rivals in the light of these arguments for the political foundations of the genre.
Download or read book Aristophanes and Politics written by Ralph Mark Rosen and published by Columbia Studies in the Classi. This book was released on 2020 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The essays in this volume explore the many aspects of the "political" in the plays of Greek comic dramatist Aristophanes (5th century BCE), posing a variety of questions and approaching them through diverse methodological lenses. They demonstrate that "politics" as reflected in Aristophanes' plays remains a fertile, and even urgent, area of inquiry, as political developments in our own time distinctly color the ways in which we articulate questions about classical Athens. As this volume shows, the earlier scholarship on politics in (or "and") Aristophanes, which tended to focus on determining Aristophanes' "actual" political views, has by now given way to approaches far more sensitive to how comic literary texts work and more attentive to the complexities of Athenian political structures and social dynamics. All the studies in this volume grapple to varying degrees with such methodological tensions, and show, that the richer and more diverse our political readings of Aristophanes can become, the less stable and consistent, as befits a comic work, they appear to be"--
Download or read book Three More Plays by Aristophanes written by Jeffrey Henderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides modern, uncensored translations of Aristophanes’ Acharnians, Knights, and Wasps. These plays, originally a series, are the world’s earliest political satires, and are made available here for the first time in one volume, augmented by full introductions and notes. In these three works, Aristophanes launched satirical attacks on Cleon, the world’s first demagogue, and explored the vulnerability of democracy to populist manipulation and disinformation. Henderson's fresh translations and exploration of the themes within them enable readers to explore the perils facing democracy in its first century which are still with us today. The Introduction offers the reader background on Aristophanes' life, Athenian democracy, classical drama, as well as on political comedy, while introductions to each individual play provide the reader with context. An appendix also collects selected fragments from Aristophanes' lost political plays. Three More Plays by Aristophanes offers an invaluable collection of these works for students and faculty working on classical studies, theatre and theatre history, and drama. The clear translations and contextualizing introductions and notes also make these plays accessible to students of government, law, and political science, and to the general reader interested in any of these subjects.
Download or read book Euripides Classic Reprint written by J. P. Mahaffy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Euripides But before the poet was come to years of discretion, Pericles had inaugurated a new internal policy, in opposition to Kimon. He was no less an aristocrat; nay, he was the lineal descendant of the Old tyrants, who had educated Athens in letters, while they retarded her political development. But, like the Old Whig nobility Of England, he led the Liberal party against the Tories under Kimon. Hence came constitutional conflicts of great bitterness, terminating in the victory of the popular party and the administration Of Pericles. The old aristocratic party, however, remained still a considerable power - an opposition not always consti tutional, and always a danger to the Athenian demos, until the Revolution Of 411 and the Tyranny of the Thirty forced all its leaders into plain treason towards the State. Then the restored democracy so secured itself that we hear of its opponents as a party no more. But In Pericles' earlier days, we must conceive the Athenians as well versed in constitutional dis eussions, as perpetually debating the limits and value of an aristocracy, the sovereign rights of the people, the responsibility of magistrates, while no less im portant questions of foreign policy, of the rights of subjects, of the administration of finance, were brought before the mind of every citizen.

Download or read book Aristophanes and Alcibiades written by Michael John Vickers and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2016 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of Aristophanes provides the basis for a total re-assessment not only of Aristophanes as a poet and playwright, but also of our perception of politics and the role of the theatre in classical Athens. It shows how Aristophanes used allegorical means to comment on the day-to-day political concerns of Athenians, in particular the problems presented by the gradual emergence of Alcibiades as one of the most powerful figures in the state.
