About This Item
Bristol Classical Press, Bristol, 1990. 82p. ills.(B&W). Paperback. Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper. 'In the Preface the author poses 4 questions: is it feasible to look for any serious message underlying comic drama; if so, is the standpoint anti-democratic or just sceptical towards authority; does the Artistophanic hero represent the ordinary Athenian of about 400 B.C.; does Aristophanic fantasy necessarily carry any practical implications? In answering these questions the author endeavours to provide enough material on Athenian society to make the plays' contexts intelligible. (...) The author does provide interesting solutions to the problems poses and offers some stimulating interpretations of the plays.' (CHARLES MACLACHLAN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1991, pp.468-69). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
