The Peace of Aristophanes is a play written by Aristophanes, a Greek comic playwright, in 421 BC. The play is a satire on the Peloponnesian War, which was fought between Athens and Sparta. The main character, Trygaeus, is a farmer who is fed up with the war and decides to travel to Mount Olympus to bring back the goddess of peace, Eirene. With the help of some comical characters, including a chorus of birds, Trygaeus succeeds in his mission and brings peace to Athens.This edition of the play includes English notes and a preface, written by an unknown editor in 1873. The notes provide explanations of the Greek terms and references used in the play, as well as historical context and analysis of the themes and characters. The preface offers an introduction to Aristophanes and his works, as well as an overview of the play and its significance in Greek literature.Overall, The Peace of Aristophanes is a humorous and insightful commentary on war and peace, politics and society, and the human condition. It remains a popular and influential work of ancient Greek literature, and this edition provides valuable resources for students and scholars of classics and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
