Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set during the Peloponnesian War, this satirical comedy revolves around two slaves, Cleon and Nicias, who scheme to dethrone their tyrannical master, Demos, embodying the Athenian populace. They recruit a sausage-seller, Agoracritus, to win Demos's favor through his love of food. The play offers a sharp critique of Athenian politics, infused with vulgar humor and slapstick. This translation includes notes and commentary, making it a valuable resource for those studying ancient Greek theater and comedy, while also preserving the cultural significance of the original work.
