Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Three Plays by Aristophanes presents Aristophanes' three women's comedies in a single volume and in unexpurgated, annotated translations. There are introductions to each play, and general introductory chapters cover Aristophanes, his theater and the women in his plays; an appendix contains relevant additional material from Aristophanes' lost comedies. Three Plays by Aristophanes will interest both readers of classical drama and students of gender studies and social history.

Rated by buyers -
Let me start by saying that this book has the best translations of Aristophanes that I've ever read. Henderson's translations contain really obscene language. That is not to say that I only liked it for the swears. The flow of the play with this obscenity is like the flow of a modern comedy. Why should something as great as a classical play be subject to censorship? Thanks to Henderson and his translation, we now know exactly what the Athenians saw when they watched Aristophanes.
