Frogs ANd other PlAysAriStoPhAnESTranslated by David BarrettRevised with an Introduction and Notes by Shomit DuttaWritten during the Peloponnesian War, Frogs features Dionysus searching for a poet in the Underworld who can help Athens in its darkest hour—and stages a debate to help him decide between the traditional wisdom of Aeschylu versus the modern Euripides. The clash of gen-erations and values is also the subject of the sat-ire Wasps, in which an old-fashioned father and his son come to blows, ending up in court. In Women at the Thesmophoria, Euripides, accused of misogyny, persuades a relative to infiltrate an all-women festival to find out whether revenge is being plotted against him. This updated ver-sion of Barrett’s translation also includes exten-sive notes and a preface for each play.A Penguin Classics paperbackApril 256 pp. 978-0-14-044969-3 $11.00
