Aristophanes 
The Comedies, Vol. 1 [EPUB ebook] 

The so-called old comedy, of which Aristophanes is the only surviving representative, flourished at the time of the Peloponnesian War which shook Greek civilization. There is no good single modern analogue of the old comedy. It is a blend of Shakespeare’s ‘Midsummer A Night’s Dream’ with Bernard Shaw. It is extravaganza combined with the dramatic criticism of ideas and set off with occasional flights of true poetry. So at least it appears in Aristophanes, who in native genius and spontaneous mastery of expression ranks with the four or five supreme poets of Greece.

This is volume one out of two and includes:

The Acharnians
The Knights
The Clouds
The Wasps
Peace
The Birds

This edition also features more than 2000 notes.
