Aristophanes Acharnians

by S. Douglas Olson

Overview

This is the first complete new scholarly edition for almost a century of one of the masterpieces of Athenian Old Comedy. Olson offers an extensive introduction, a text based on a fresh collation of the manuscripts, and a massive literary and historical commentary. All Greek in the introduction and commentary not cited for technical reasons is translated, making much of the edition accessible to non-specialists.

Editorial Reviews

"This edition is everything we could have expected, given the sterling qualities Olson has already shown in his edition of Peace...and it fully merits the company it keeps in the Clarendon series with, for example, Dover's Clouds of 1968 and Dunbar's Birds of 1995."—Bryn Mawr Classical Review
