Sinopsis

'The Birds,' by Aristophanes, is a timeless comedic masterpiece. This edition, intended to convey the play?s effect as an acted performance, illustrates the dramatic humor and character found in the original text. Aristophanes? sharp wit and satirical commentary on Athenian society are brilliantly showcased in this work, where two men embark on a quest to create a city in the sky ruled by birds. John Hookham Frere?s translation captures the spirit of the original Greek, making it accessible to modern readers while preserving its classical charm. 'The Birds' remains relevant today for its exploration of utopian ideals, political satire, and the enduring human desire for escape and transformation. This edition offers a valuable insight into the world of ancient Greek theatre and the enduring appeal of Aristophanes? comic genius.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
