Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Very Good, Gently read if at all. Clean and Unmarked. Usual Easton Press quality features: High quality genuine leather; 22kt gold inlaid design on both back and front covers, spine with four raised bands and accented in 22kt gold -- gilt page edges; archival acid-neutral paper; Smyth-sewn; and sewn in satin ribbon book mark. . . . . . This volume brings together what are probably the two most atypical Greek comedies by Aristophanes. *The Birds* is one play where for once Aristophanes does not seem to be attacking some specific abuse in Athens, while "The Frogs" is actually the first "serious" attempt at dramatic criticism. This is not to suggest that *The Birds* (*Ornithes*) is nothing more than escapist entertainment. Certainly there are those who see it as a political satire about the imperialistic dreams that resulted in the disastrous invasion of Sicily (which happened the year before his play was produced in 414 B.C.). Then again, this could just be Aristophanes bemoaning the decline of Athens. -- Lawrance Bernabo.
