The Frogs is one of the more well-known and frequently performed comedies by Aristophanes, alongside Lysistrata. It's no wonder: he has the wine and theater god Dionysus himself descend into the underworld to bring back the greatest tragic poet. But who is it - Aeschylus or Euripides? The poetic competition that is meant to decide this is filled with intertextual references, sharp allusions, and coarse humor. Holzberg's faithful and carefully annotated translation ensures that nothing is lost in the process.
