Aristophanes: Wasps by Aristophanes
First produced in 422 BC, Wasps is at once a political satire and also, like Clouds and the lost Banqueters, a comedy on the theme of the conflict of generations. First published in 1983, this edition contains addenda and a new bibliography. Greek text with facing English translation, commentary and notes.
‘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.’
