Book excerpt: The master of ancient Greek comic drama, Aristophanes combined slapstick, humour and cheerful vulgarity with acute political observations. In The Frogs, written during the Peloponnesian War, Dionysus descends to the Underworld to bring back a poet who can help Athens in its darkest hour, and stages a great debate to help him decide between the traditional wisdom of Aeschylus and the brilliant modernity of Euripides. The clash of generations and values is also the object of Aristophanes’ satire in The Wasps, in which an old-fashioned father and his loose-living son come to blows and end up in court. And in The Poet and the Women, Euripides, accused of misogyny, persuades a relative to infiltrate an all-women festival to find out whether revenge is being plotted against him.

Book excerpt: The FrogsAristophanes"The Frogs" was produced the year after the death of Euripides, and laments the decay of Greek tragedy which Aristophanes attributed to that writer. It is an admirable example of the brilliance of his style, and of that mingling of wit and poetry with rollicking humor and keen satirical point which is his chief characteristic. Here, as elsewhere, he stands for tradition against innovation of all kinds, whether in politics, religion, or art. The hostility to Euripides displayed here and in several other plays, like his attacks on Socrates, is a result of this attitude of conservatism. The present play is notable also as a piece of elaborate if not over-serious literary criticism from the pen of a great poet.

Download or read book Aristophanes Frogs written by Mark Griffith (Classicist) and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxford Approaches to Classical Literature introduces individual works of Greek and Latin literature to readers who are approaching them for the first time. Each volume sets the work in its literary and historical context and aims to offer a balanced and engaging assessment of its content, artistry, and purpose. A brief survey of the influence of the work upon subsequent generations is included to demonstrate its enduring relevance and power. All quotations from the original are translated into English. Aristophanes was the comic mastermind of classical Athens, and Frogs is widely regarded as his most brilliant and multi-faceted play. Written and performed in 405 BCE and deeply embedded in that specific cultural moment, Frogs won first prize in that year's festival competition and has been-admired by readers and critics ever since, a testament to its timeless appeal. In addition to its hilarious language, stage antics, and plot, Frogs provides modern readers with an unparalleled range of insights into ancient Greek mentalities, exploring and critiquing the Athenians' ideas about drama and music, citizenship, slavery, and the possibilities of personal salvation and life after death. With this up-to-date and engaging account, Mark Griffith places Frogs in its original historical and cultural context, while underscoring the play's originality in its relation to parallel developments in tragedy and ancient Greek aesthetics in general. This volume provides not only a detailed analysis of the play itself and its reception but also to succinct introduction to Greek comedy overall, making it an invaluable companion to ancient theater for students and general readers alike.
