About this title

Synopsis

This seems to be the only remaining little anthology of Greek drama. It contains two plays apiece by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, and one very, very funny Aristophanes, "The Frogs," which is an especially welcome choice (over the more usual "Lysistrata") since "The Frogs" is the play which satirizes both Aeschylus and Euripides by showing them having a drama contest in Hades to see which one is best. So it's ideal for the casual reader who wants a good selection of Greek drama, and it's even more ideal for the teacher, like me, who can use it to give students a good idea of the range and styles of the three great tragedians, then end it with a delightfully funny spoof of the same guys. Some of the translations are pretty old-fashioned (too much "thee" and "thou"--the original copyright is 1938), but again for a quick sample of the full range of Greek drama in an inexpensive volume, this is ideal.
