This is the first comprehensive edition in any language of the Birds, a play generally recognized as one of Aristophanes' masterpieces--both for its imaginative plot and for the charm and originality of its lyrics. The commentary gives generous help with the translation, for the less advanced student of Greek, and also with interpretation and the lyric meters, as well as fully discussing the staging. The introduction discusses the nature of the play; its historical and mythological background; the history of the text, including the contributions of ancient scholars recorded in the scholia, which are exceptionally important in this play; and also more recent scholarship.

Über den Autor Aristophanes

Aristophanes (ca. 445 v. Chr. Athen - ca. 385 v. Chr. Athen) ist einer der bedeutendsten Dichter der griechischen Komödie. Zu seinen Werken, die von einer scharfsinnigen Beobachtungsgabe geprägt sind, zählen 'Die Vögel', 'Lysistrate', 'Die Frösche' und 'Der Reichtum'. Häufiges Motiv ist der Peloponnesische Krieg zwischen Athen und Sparta (431-404 v. Chr.). Insgesamt verfasste Aristophanes 40 Theaterstücke, die schon zu seinen Lebzeiten ausgezeichnet wurden und von denen noch heute elf erhalten sind.
