From the fifth to the second century BC, innovative comedy drama flourished in Greece and Rome. This collection brings together the greatest works of Classical comedy, with two early Greek plays: Aristophanes' bold, imaginative Birds, and Menander's The Girl from Samos, which explores popular contemporary themes of mistaken identity and sexual misbehaviour; and two later Roman comic plays: Plautus' The Brothers Menaechmus - the original comedy of errors - and Terence's bawdy yet sophisticated double love-plot, The Eunuch. Together, these four plays demonstrate the development of Classical comedy, celebrating its richness, variety and extraordinary legacy to modern drama.

This translation of Lystrata, by the Brandeis National Committee, presents one of the greatest poems of classic literature. Includes illustrations by Norman Lindsay and a foreword by Jack Lindsay.

Dionysos dringt in die Unterwelt vor, um Euripides wieder ins Diesseits zu führen. Dort wird er zum Schiedsrichter in einem Wettstreit zwischen dem besagten Dichter und Aischylos, an dessen Ende Aischylos zum Sieger gekürt wird und aus dem Jenseits zurückkehrt.Zwei Handlungsstränge werden miteinander verknüpft: Die Fahrt des Dionysos in die Unterwelt als Abenteuergeschichte nach dem Muster des Herakles kann jedoch nicht zur Identifikation des Helden dienen, da die Grenzüberschreitung keine Herausforderung darstellt. Der Held wird "im Off" identifiziert. Der zweite Handlungsstrang ist der Wettstreit der Dichter, der weder durch philologische noch naturwissenschaftliche Kriterien entschieden werden kann. Erst das Eingreifen Plutons führt die Handlungsstränge zusammen und lässt Aischylos obsiegen, da er momentan die bessere Wahl darstellt. Aristophanes (zwischen 450 v. Chr. und 444 v. Chr. in Athen; † um 380 v. Chr.) war ein griechischer Komödiendichter.
