Aristophanes' Peace was performed at the City Dionysia in Athens in
421 BC as a decade-long war with Sparta seemed finally to be
drawing to an end, and is one of only eleven extant plays by the
greatest Old Comic poet. Olson's edition of the play, which
replaces Platnauer's of 1969, is based on a complete new collation
of the manuscripts, many of which have never been adequately
reported before. The extensive commentary explores matters of all
sorts, but it focuses in particular on the realities of day-to-day
life in classical Athens and also examines the practical problems
of staging. The substantial introduction includes essays on
Aristophanes' early career, the politics of the Greek world in the
late 420s, and the poet's theology.
