Review
Henderson's translation keeps close to the Greek, but successfully manages to indicate something of Aristophanes' linguistic diversity; it has been carried off with admirable crispness...A highly welcome addition to the Loeb Library.--Stephen Halliwell "Greece and Rome "
Henderson, who may fairly be considered the leading Aristophanic scholar in North America, has now...provided us with both a useful text and idiomatic...translation. It is certainly a work that scholars may use with confidence and may recommend to their students.--Ian C. Storey "Bryn Mawr Classical Review "
Henderson's sound texts and plain translations give us exactly the Aristophanes we need: a reliable prose waiting to be quickened into poetic life by the reader's imagination, laughter, and amazement.--Donald Lyons "New Criterion "
It is accordingly a pleasure to note the appearance of the first of what will be four new Loeb volumes of "Aristophanes"this is an important edition of a major Greek author and an absolute "must-buy" for all college and university libraries.--S. Douglas Olson "Classical World "
