Aristophanes's satirical masterpieces, immensely popular with the
Athenian public, were frequently crude, even obscene. His plays
revealed to his contemporaries, and now teach us today, that when
those in power act obscenely, patriotic obscenity is a fitting
response. Until now English translations have failed to capture
Aristophanes's poetic genius. Aaron Poochigian, the first
poet-classicist to tackle these plays in a generation, offers
"effortlessly readable and genuinely theatrical" (Simon Armitage)
versions of four of Aristophanes's most entertaining, provocative
and lyrically ingenious comedies, finally giving
twenty-first-century readers a sense of the subversive pleasure
audiences felt when these works were first performed on the
Athenian stage.
