Aristophanes

Edited and translated by Jeffrey Henderson

“Henderson, who may fairly be considered the leading Aristophanic scholar in North America, has now…provided us with both a useful text and idiomatic…translation. It is certainly a work that scholars may use with confidence and may recommend to their students.”—Ian C. Storey, The Bryn Mawr Classical Review

“It is accordingly a pleasure to note the appearance of the first of what will be four new Loeb volumes of Aristophanes…this is an important edition of a major Greek author and an absolute ‘must-buy’ for all college and university libraries.”—S. Douglas Olson, The Classical World

“Henderson’s translation keeps close to the Greek, but successfully manages to indicate something of Aristophanes’s linguistic diversity; it has been carried off with admirable crispness… A highly welcome addition to the Loeb Library.”—Stephen Halliwell, Greece and Rome

“Henderson’s sound texts and plain translations give us exactly the Aristophanes we need: a reliable prose waiting to be quickened into poetic life by the reader’s imagination, laughter, and amazement.”—Donald Lyons, The New Criterion
