Brill's Companion to the Reception of Aristophanes (Brill's Companions to Classical Reception)4 | None | 3,429,302 | None | None | Brill ́s Companion to the Reception of Aristophanes provides a substantive account of the reception of Aristophanes (c. 446-386 BC) from Antiquity to the present. Aristophanes was the renowned master of Old Attic Comedy, a dramatic genre defined by its topical satire, high poetry, frank speech, and obscenity. Since their initial production in classical Athens, his comedies have fascinated, inspired, and repelled critics, readers, translators, and performers.

Careful attention has been given to critical moments of reception across temporal, linguistic, cultural, and national boundaries.… (more) |
