The Loeb Classical Library #502. ix, 559 p.p. Green cloth boards. Dust jacket chafed to covers, joints and corners. The eleven plays by Aristophanes that have come down to us intact brilliantly illuminate the eventful period spanned by his 40-year career, beginning with the first production in 427 BCE. But the Athenians knew much more of his work: over 40 plays by Aristophanes were read in antiquity, of which nearly a thousand fragments survive. These provide a fuller picture of the poet's ever astonishing comic vitality and a wealth of information and insights about his world. Henderson's new, widely acclaimed Loeb edition is completed by this volume.
