Reviews

As a first introduction to Aristophanes this lively edition may be warmly recommended. The detailed commentary is lucid and concise, witty and intelligent. MacDowell scrutinizes each problem with genuine interest and never loses sight of the stage....Especially valuable are his notes on prosopography. The technical details of the law courts are clearly elucidated and the metrical analyses presented with elegance and good taste. --Classical Review<br>
