Five Comedies
Five Comedies | Aristophanes
1 post | 1 read
In addition to his immense powers for joyous farce and brillian fantasy, Aristophanes is characterized by a consummate and delicate lyrical gift, and a serious and engaged presentation of the major moral and political issues of his day -- or of any day. A comedy of Aristophanes is "a wild though highly intellectual face" (Gilbert Murray); "a dramatized debate in which the persons represent opposing principles" (S. H. Butcher).

Five Comedies | Aristophanes

Very dense. I took it on because I found it amongst my late father's collection, & my love for him was so intense & reverential that I just had to read it. But honestly, I had a very difficult time slogging through it. Again, as with other comments I've made, if I can't understand & enjoy a classic, there's something wrong with me, not the work.
