The Penn Greek Drama Series presents original literary translations
of the entire corpus of classical Greek drama: tragedies, comedies,
and satyr plays. It is the only contemporary series of all the
surviving work of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes,
and Menander. Aristophanes wrote most of his comedic masterpieces
during the Peloponnesian War, parodying the tumultuous politics and
society of that time with trademark innuendoes and bawdy stagings
and dialogue. In these plays, Aristophanes brings every rhetorical
strategem into play to treat the reader to stories of one man's
attempt to create a "war-free zone," the rescue of the imprisoned
Peace on the back of a giant dung beetle, a satire of Euripides's
sympathies for women, and the hustling and healing of a blind and
destitute Wealth in order to redistribute the world's riches.
Translations are by Jack Flavin (Acharnians), Fred Beake (Peace),
David Slavitt (Celebrating Ladies), and Palmer Bovie (Wealth). The
volume includes an introduction by Ralph Rosen, Professor of
Classics at the University of Pennsylvania.
