Adventures with Iphigenia in Tauris
This book is full of wonders: an eighteenth-century musical comedy based on Euripides Iphigenia in Tauris, a best-selling nineteenth-century translation of Plutus into Gujarati and the news that with just a little tweaking, the frogs chorus from Ranae can be sung to the tune of Cavanaugh and Barris 1928 hit 'Mississippi Mud'The conference at Oxford in 2004 that led to this publication of papers must have been great fun. The book retains much of the flavor of that original venue.[...]... a valuable collection of essays...' -- Bryn Mawr Classical Review Bryn Mawr Classical Review
