He wrote at least 40 plays, of which eleven have survived complete. Here Jeffrey Henderson presents a freshly edited Greek text of three of the plays and a lively, unexpurgated translation.
SYNOPSIS This second volume of two contains Clouds, featuring 'Thinker' by Socrates; the satire of the Athenian courts of law, Wasps; and the exuberant attack on warmongers, Peace.
