Aristophanes: Acharnians
Av Sommerstein, Alan H. Sommerstein
Häftad, 1980
585 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The earliest comic drama to survive, Acharnians is a highly committed play, its message being that Athens war with the Peloponnesians can and should be ended, and that peace will mean the restoration of normal life after six years' separation of the country people from their land. First published …
Aristophanes: Clouds
Av Sommerstein, Alan H. Sommerstein
Häftad, 1991
632 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Clouds is a partly revised version of a play that failed when it was first produced. It has always fascinated (and usually shocked) students of philosophy because of its portrayal of Socrates as an atheist and a teacher of dishonest rhetoric, justly punished by the agents of the gods whom he …
Aristophanes: Lysistrata
Av Sommerstein, Alan H. Sommerstein

Lysistrata is the third and last of Aristophanes' peace plays. It is a dream of peace, of how the women could help to achieve an honourable settlement, conceived when Athens was going through its blackest, most desperate crisis since the Persian War.

Aristophanes’ Frogs was produced in 405 BC, shortly after the deaths of the two great veteran Athenian tragic dramatists, Euripides and Sophocles. It was restaged a year later, a few weeks before starving Athens at last accepted defeat in the long Peloponnesian War. Dionysus, the god of drama, wine …
Aristophanes: Peace
Av Sommerstein, Alan H. Sommerstein
Häftad, 2005
585 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Produced in 421 B.C., Peace is, in one respect, unique among Aristophanes’ plays. The typical Aristophanic plot takes its start from something that is wrong with the current state of Athenian life and which, while it may be capable in principle of being corrected, stands next to no chance of ever …
