Book excerpt: Ecclesiazusae, probably produced in 391 BC, is at once a typically Aristophanic fantasy of gender inversion, obscenity and farce, the earliest surviving work in the western Utopian tradition, and the source of a blueprint for a communist society on which Plato may well have drawn in his Republic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study shows that the Ecclesiazusae is an affirmation of the importance of persuasion in the fourth- century democracy. Praxagora, the attractive and articulate female protagonist, virtually personifies peitho, the realm of both political persuasion and erotic seduction. The ability of peitho to address both public and private motivations makes it the perfect instrument to resolve the tension in the fourth century between selfishness and civic participation. This is, after all, the central issue in the later episodes of the play.

Lest for stranglings this uncertainty afford a tempting cloak: For since wittingly the son his dad is often known to choke, Each youngster now, who feels inclined, the liberty will take Of throttling us old men--then say, " 'twas done through pure mistake." PRAXAGORA. If e'er in former times a son t'assault his father chose, Toajellyhemight beathim, yet none would interpose; But now self-preservation'sk law will bid each dad unite, At need, the graceless varlet to chastise with main and might. BLEPHYRUS. Thus far your words of wisdom smack; yet think what a disgrace. If the rakehell Epicurus' call me father to my face? PRAXAGORA. Amischance might you befallfarworse than even this. k " The elder shall he enjoined both to govern and to chastise the younger; and surely the younger, as becomes them, shall never attempt to beat the elder, or in any other way to offer violence to him; for there are sufficient guardians to hinder it, both fear, and reverence: reverence, on the one hand, restraining them from assaulting, as it were, their parents; and fear, on the other. lest others shall assist the sufferer, some as sons, others as brothers, and others as fathers." Taylor's transl. p. 304. 1 Epicurus and Aristyllus were worthies of the same st& "Arcades ambo," " blackguards both," as Byron has it. BLEPHYItUS. Ay, what? PRAXAGORA. If Aristippus call you dad, and then a kiss Impart. BLEPHYRUS. I'd shake the stinkard off, and pound his carcase well. PRAXAGORA. And pretty strongly afterwards of calamint"' you'd smell.

Book excerpt: The women of Athens concoct a dating scheme: to infiltrate the male-dominated Assembly disguised as men and to vote themselves into power, after which they will overturn the old laws and inaugurate a new society where all are equal and where property - sex, too! - is shared. This new translation by Robert Mayhew of one of playwright Aristophanes' last surviving plays recaptures the spirit, the bawdiness, and the brilliance of this rollicking farce which is at the same time a profound critique of contemporary Greek customs and manners. A full introduction and explanatory notes provide important background material on communistic ideas current in fifth- and fourth-century B.C.E. Greek thought as well as on historical and other details relevant to the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the interpretation of Plato in the last thirty years. Once interpreted as a revolutionary of the left, and a prophet of Socialism, he has lately been interpreted as a revolutionary of the Right and a forerunner of Fascism. In this book Plato appears as himself – a revolutionary indeed, and even an authoritarian, but a revolutionary of the pure idea of the Good, and an authoritarian of the pure reason, unattached either to the Right or the Left.

Book excerpt: Provides a comprehensive and systematic treatment of the life and work of Aristophanes A Companion to Aristophanes provides an invaluable set of foundational resources for undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars alike.

With an emphasis on understanding Greek comedy and its ancient Athenian context, the text includes approaches to Aristophanes through criticism, performance, translation, and teaching to encourage and inform future work on Greek comedy. Illustrating the vitality of contemporary engagement with one of the world's great literary figures, this comprehensive volume: Helps new readers and teachers of Aristophanes appreciate the broader importance of each play within the study of antiquity Offers sophisticated analyses of the Aristophanic corpus and its place in literary and cultural history Includes chapters focused on teaching Aristophanes, including one emphasizing performance Provides detailed syllabi and lesson plans for integrating the material into high school and college curricula A Companion to Aristophanes is an essential resource for advanced students and instructors in Classics, Ancient Literature, Comparative Literature, and Ancient Drama and Theater. It is also a must-have reference for academic scholars, university libraries, non-specialist Classicists and other literary critics researching ancient drama, and sophisticated general readers interested in Aristophanes, Greek drama, classical Athens, or the ancient Mediterranean world.
