The Comedy of Athenian Democracy ("classics and Interpretations" No. 24)
About This Novel
Aristophanes was an outstanding dramatist in ancient Greece and is known as the "Father of Comedy". His works touched on all major political and social issues at that time, reflecting the social life during the crisis period of Athens' slave-owning democracy. It is precisely because Aristophanes' works are closely related to the social reality of the time that for thousands of years, many scholars have regarded him not as an artist, but as a politician and social dramatist. The articles by Goum, Stowe, and Nievig included in this volume, from an objective perspective, start from the script analysis, and sort out the relationship between Aristophanes' works and the social and political realities of the time, which is quite valuable.
