Acharnians. Knights by Aristophanes
This is the first complete new scholarly edition for almost a century of one of the masterpieces of Athenian Old Comedy. Olson offers an extensive introduction, a text based on a fresh collation of the manuscripts, and a massive literary and historical commentary. All Greek in the introduction and commentary not cited for technical reasons is translated, making much of the edition accessible to non-specialists.-

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