Lysistrata, Women at the Thesmophoria, Frogs by Aristophanes;

Long description:

"Arnson Svarlien's translation offers fresh insight into three of Aristophanes's greatest comedies. The verse flows smoothly, and throughout it is stressed that these plays belong on a stage, with guidance on how that might be accomplished. At the same time, the detailed Introduction and interpretative notes on every page show that both Arnson Svarlien and Storey are deeply committed to presenting a vibrant, modern Aristophanes, and to giving the tools needed for readers and actors to form their own opinions on matters of ongoing scholarly controversy."

—C.W. Marshall, FRSC, Professor of Greek, The University of British Columbia

"... [Manages the difficult task of balancing readability (and speakability!) with fidelity to the original. Together with Ian Storey's extremely useful and approachable Introduction and notes, this is an ideal text for a college class or an individual reader attempting to get at the heart of Aristophanes."

—Stephanie Nelson, Professor of Classical Studies, Boston University
