Over forty of his plays were read in antiquity, from which nearly a thousand fragments survive. These provide a fuller picture of the poet's comic vitality and a wealth of information and insights about his world.$bThe eleven plays by Aristophanes that have come down to us intact brilliantly illuminate the eventful period spanned by his forty-year career, beginning with the first production in 427 BCE. But the Athenians knew much more of his work: over forty plays by Aristophanes were read in antiquity, of which nearly a thousand fragments survive. These provide a fuller picture of the poet's ever astonishing comic vitality and a wealth of information and insights about his world. Jeffrey Henderson's new, widely acclaimed Loeb edition of Aristophanes is completed by this volume containing what survives from, and about, his lost plays, hitherto inaccessible to the nonspecialist, and incorporating the enormous scholarly advances that have been achieved in recent years. Each fragmentary play is prefaced by a summary of what can be inferred about its plot, characters, themes, theatricality, and topical significance. Also included in this edition are the ancient reports about Aristophanes' life, works, and influence on the later comic tradition. 606 $aClassical literature 606 $aGreek literature 606 $aGreek drama (Comedy)$3(OCoLC)947136$2fast 606 $aGreek drama$3(OCoLC)947127$2fast 607 $aGreece$zAthens$2fast 615 0$aClassical literature. 615 0$aGreek literature. 615 7$aGreek drama (Comedy) 615 7$aGreek drama 676 $a822/.01 700 $aAristophanes$0602827 702 $aHenderson$b Jeffrey$f1946- 801 0$bMaCbHUP 801 2$bTLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214859903316 996 $aFragments$92877237 997 $aUNISA
