Aristophanes: Frogs by Alan H Sommerstein )
Produced in 405 BC, Frogs contains the earliest sustained piece of literary criticism in the Western tradition - the contest for the throne of tragedy between Euripides and Aeschylus. This edition is the first to combine a reliable English translation of Frogs with a full explanatory commentary; it also includes a freshly constituted Greek text.
‘For an overall series of the entire corpus, including critical text, commentary, translation, and full introduction, all subsumed to one man’s intelligent analysis and wide-ranging scholarship, Sommerstein stands triumphantly alone[…] Aristophanes is lucky to have so devoted, erudite, and witty a modern celebrant.’
