Among extant Greek comedies, the Frogs is unique for the light it
throws on classical Greek attitudes to tragedy and to literature in
general. Sir Kenneth Dover's edition, with a full introduction and
extensive commentary, has been the most comprehensive edition
available, drawing together the relevant scholarship that has
accumulated on the subject. The general purpose and character of
the abridged version remains the same: to provide a helpful guide
on a difficult author for students who wish to translate the play,
or need to interpret it for performance. In this edition, nothing
relevant to the performance of the play on stage has been
sacrificed although information on manuscripts and discussion of
the history of the text have been pared to the minimum, and
arguments on controversial points have been abbreviated. Where
relevant, conclucions reached in the original edition have been
changed in the light of work done by others since 1993. The
inclusion of a vocabulary should reduce the need for students to
have a recourse to a lexicon.
