Full Calf. Collector's Edition. Royal octavo, [27.75cm/11inches], full gilt-embossed Olymian-green calf sans dust jacket, -as issued-, pp. xxii, 62. Illustrations by Marian Parry. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . Aristophanes, (roughly 450/445 BC about 385 BC). wrote 40 plays. However, only 11 of his plays survive in their entirety. He is famous for writing comedies. They were biting satires aimed at famous men of his day, and the all-too-human weaknesses of ordinary people. . Ancient Greek theatre was first presented in competitions at the festival of Dionysia, dedicated to the god Dionysus. The interesting thing is that Aristophanes did not always win first prize. The plays which won ahead of his have been lost, so we cannot make any comparisons. . The Birds was performed in 414 BC at the City Dionysia in Athens where it won second place. It has been acclaimed by modern critics as a perfectly realized fantasy remarkable for its mimicry of birds and for the gaiety of its songs. the play features numerous indirect references to Athenian political and social life. It is the longest of Aristophanes' surviving plays and yet it is a fairly conventional example of Old Comedy. The plot revolves around Pisthetaerus, an Athenian who convinces the birds to create a great city in the sky, and thus regain their status as the original gods. Pisthetaerus eventually transforms into a bird-like god himself, and replaces Zeus as the king of the gods. . The Frogs tells the story of the god Dionysus, who, despairing of the state of Athens' tragedians, travels to Hades (the underworld) to bring the playwright Euripides back from the dead. (Euripides had died the year before, in 406 BC.) He brings along his slave Xanthias, who is smarter and braver than Dionysus. The call of the Frog Chorus, "Brekekekéx-koáx-koáx, a later, (1899), parody of which was the first Stanford Axe yell in when yell leaders used it during the decapitation of a straw effigy: "Give 'em the axe, the axe, the axe!" The Frog Chorus also figured in a later Axe Yell rendering the last two segments "croax croax", which was used by both the University of California and Stanford University at football games. In exceptionally good condition.

" ; LC: PA3877; Dewey: 882 ; OCLC: 5069098 ; "John Archibald Austen was an English book illustrator. His early works, including a fine Hamlet, were Beardsleyesque in style, but after 1925 he was influenced by the Art Deco movement. Books which he illustrated in this manner include Daphnis and Chloe and As You Like it. Austen used several techniques in his illustrations, including wood-engraving and scraperboard, and changed styles to suit the text he was illustrating. He was also involved in advertising, producing adverts and several posters. He was a friend of Alan Odle and Harry Clarke and exhibited with them at the St George's Gallery in 1925. It wasn't until 1906 when Austen came to London, as a carpenter, that he was first exposed to Beardsley's work. The effect it had on him was said to be overwhelming and he began to study art - and Beardsley in particular. .[In] 1921 . he had his first illustrations published. The book was The Little Ape and despite being an obvious paean to his hero, the illustrations contain a seed of uniqueness that kept them being slavish copies."--wikipedia ; FINE, in soiled slipcase.
