About This Item
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2002. Reprint ed.. Paperback small trade, very good condition, top corners covers creased, few light creases covers, minor edgewear corner tips covers. 236 pp. A new edition of the classic Athenian play for comedy, 'Aristophanes Lysistrataâ, edited with commentary by Jeffrey Henderson, This edition, the first for 60 years, provides much new evidence for those working on anthropological and sociological aspects of Athens, as well as those working in traditional philological fields. It also brings the play up to date in terms of the advances made in Aristohanic scholarship in the past 60 years. In particular, it is the first edition to report all the manuscripts, papyri and testimonial sources of the text, offering a new account of its history and a detailed review of the transmission of the Aristophanic corpus as a whole. Attic comedy draws its characters and plots from everyday Athenian social, political and religious life and so provides a unique glimpse everyday life in Ancient Athens.
