Aristophanes Exploring the Comic Genius of Aristophanes: Humor, Critique, and Influence in Ancient Greek Literature【電子書籍】[ W. Lucas Collins ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞W. Lucas Collins' "Aristophanes" ambitiously examines the comedic genius of one of classical Athens' most significant playwrights. Through a meticulous analysis of Aristophanes'?? socio-political commentary, Collins delves into the intricate layers of satire, parody, and humor that characterize the playwright's works. The literary style is sharp and insightful, employing a blend of literary criticism and historical context to illuminate the nuanced relationship between Aristophanes and the turbulent society of ancient Greece. As Collins navigates through the plays, he offers a deep exploration of the themes of war, democracy, and the human condition, bridging the ancient and modern worlds with his keen interpretive lens. W. Lucas Collins was steeped in classical studies, holding esteemed degrees in both philosophy and literature. His profound appreciation for the dynamics of comedic writing and the socio-political landscape of ancient Greece no doubt informed this rigorous examination. Through a career marked by his dedication to uncovering the complexities of classic texts, Collins crafts a narrative that resonates with the timelessness of Aristophanes'?? insights. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, enthusiasts, and students of classical literature. Collins'?? engaging prose not only invites readers into the world of Aristophanes but also encourages a critical reflection on the enduring power of satire and humor in challenging the status quo. A must-read for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of ancient Greek literature and its relevance today.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	310円
The Acharnians【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This is the comedy of the ancient Greek comedian Aristophanes, the earliest of his plays that have survived to this day. Together with ?Mir” and ?Lysistrata” refers to the ?anti-war” comedies of the author.

The Clouds An Ancient Comedy of Intellectual Enlightenment and Satirical Humor【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "The Clouds," Aristophanes crafts a sharp and satirical comedy that critiques the intellectual trends of 5th-century Athens, particularly the rise of sophistry and the emerging new philosophies. Through the lens of the character Strepsiades, the play delves into themes of education, morality, and the absurdity of contemporary thought, employing a rich tapestry of wit, wordplay, and farcical situations. Aristophanes'??s trademark use of exaggerated characters and poetic language not only entertains but also provokes profound reflections on societal values and the relevance of genuine wisdom versus cunning rhetoric. Aristophanes, a seminal figure in Ancient Greek theater, thrived during a time of significant cultural and philosophical transformation. Growing up in a society grappling with the aftermath of war and political upheaval, his experiences deeply informed his criticisms of social institutions and philosophical pretensions. His commitment to exploring the complexities of human nature and the follies of contemporary life is vividly realized in "The Clouds," showcasing his exceptional ability to blend humor with incisive social commentary. I highly recommend "The Clouds" to readers interested in the interplay of comedy and philosophy, as well as those eager to understand the foundations of Western thought and humor. The play'??s timeless themes resonate with modern audiences, inviting them to question their beliefs and the merit of certain ideologies, making it a quintessential read for anyone seeking intellectual enrichment through the lens of ancient satire.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	310円
The Acharnians【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The Acharnians, one of Aristophanes’ earliest surviving comedies, is a sharp and entertaining critique of war and politics in ancient Athens. Written during the Peloponnesian War, the play follows Dicaeopolis, a weary farmer who takes matters into his own hands by negotiating a private peace with Sparta, defying the city’s warmongering leaders. As he enjoys the benefits of peaceーwine, trade, and personal freedomーhe faces opposition from the chorus of Acharnian charcoal-burners, staunch supporters of the war. Through absurdity, satire, and bold humor, Aristophanes challenges Athenian militarism and exposes the folly of political opportunism. Blending fantasy with pointed social commentary, The Acharnians champions individual reason and peace over nationalistic zeal, offering a timeless reflection on the costs of war and the courage to seek alternatives.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	438円
The Frogs A Journey Through the Underworld: Satirical Comedy in Ancient Greece【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞In "The Frogs," Aristophanes employs sharp wit and vibrant dialogue to explore themes of artistic merit and cultural decline in classical Athens. This comedic play, set in the underworld, follows the god Dionysus as he embarks on a fantastical journey to retrieve the playwright Euripides, ultimately provoking a profound discourse on the nature of drama and the responsibilities of the playwright. Aristophanes' characteristic blend of satire, moral questioning, and humor reflects the societal tensions of his time, capturing the anxieties surrounding the shifting values of Athenian society and the potential loss of cultural integrity amidst political chaos. Aristophanes, often hailed as the father of comedic theater, drew upon his experiences as a citizen of Athens during its tumultuous period. Living in an era marked by the Peloponnesian War and the rise of new philosophical ideas, he frequently critiqued contemporary leaders and social structures through his works. "The Frogs" represents not just a farcical adventure but also a strategic commentary on the literary landscape of his time, engaging with both established and emerging dramatists in a daring mingling of myth and modernity. For readers interested in the intersection of humor and serious critique, "The Frogs" is an essential read, offering insights into ancient Greek theater as well as timeless reflections on the value of art and its creators in society. Aristophanes'?? masterful blend of entertainment and intellect makes this work both accessible and significant, inviting readers to ponder the enduring question of what constitutes true greatness in literature.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	150円
Aristophanes the Democrat The Politics of Satirical Comedy during the Peloponnesian War【電子書籍】[ Keith Sidwell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book provides a new interpretation of the nature of Old Comedy and its place at the heart of Athenian democratic politics. Professor Sidwell argues that Aristophanes and his rivals belonged to opposing political groups, each with their own political agenda. Through disguised caricature and parody of their rivals' work, the poets expressed and fuelled the political conflict between their factions. Professor Sidwell rereads the principal texts of Aristophanes and the fragmented remains of the work of his rivals in the light of these arguments for the political foundations of the genre.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	6,449円
Comedy and Religion in Classical Athens Narratives of Religious Experiences in Aristophanes' Wealth【電子書籍】[ Francisco Barrenechea ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This book opens up a new perspective on Aristophanic drama and its relationship to Greek religion. It focuses on the comedy Wealth, whose fantasy of universal enrichment is structured upon a rich and largely unexplored framework of traditional stories of Greek religious experiences, such as oracles, miracle cures, and the introduction of new gods. The book examines the form and function of these stories, and explores how the playwright adapts them for his own comic purposes, grounding his comic fantasy on stories of philanthropic divinities who dependably respond to the needs of their worshippers. The collaboration of these deities, who act in tandem with their worshippers, achieves the comic fantasy. Francisco Barrenechea also addresses the larger question of how comedy participated in the religion of its time by imagining and dramatizing beliefs, and reveals the salutary bond that can exist between humor and religion in general.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	16,381円
Demagogues, Power, and Friendship in Classical Athens Leaders as Friends in Aristophanes, Euripides, and Xenophon【電子書籍】[ Professor Robert Holschuh Simmons ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞What makes a demagogue? A much more friendly touch, or more importantly, a perception of a friendly touch, than has previously been explored. ＜em＞Demagogues, Power and Friendship in Classical Athens＜/em＞ examines the ways in which a demagogic leadership style based on personal connection became ingrained in this period, drawing on close study of several genres of literature of the late 5th and early-to-mid 4th centuries BCE. Such connection was particularly effective with lower classes of Athenians, who had been accustomed to being excluded from politicians' friendship-based approaches to coalition-building.＜/p＞＜p＞Comedies of Aristophanes (particularly ＜em＞Knights)＜/em＞, tragedies of Euripides (particularly ＜em＞Iphigenia in Aulis＜/em＞), and historical biographies of Xenophon (particularly ＜em＞Anabasis＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Cyropaedia＜/em＞) depict demagogues, or characters exhibiting demagogic characteristics, using a style of outreach to members of neglected classes that involved provoking feelings of friendship with individuals in these classes, whether the demagogues and individual supporters actually interacted closely or not. These leaders employed techniques, such as propinquity, homophily, and transitivity, that both contemporary sociologists (and, in some cases, Aristotle) recognize as effective for such purposes. Particular attention is paid to discrepancies in Aristophanes' ＜em＞Knights＜/em＞ between how the demagogue Cleon is hyperbolically portrayed (as a pederastic lover of the Athenian people) and how his language and actions make him out ? as a friend of theirs, as he likely portrayed himself.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	4,927円

The Clouds【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The satire in this, one of the best known of all Aristophanes' comedies, is directed against the new schools of philosophy, or perhaps we should rather say dialectic, which had lately been introduced, mostly from abroad, at Athens. The doctrines held up to ridicule are those of the 'Sophists'ーsuch men as Thrasymachus from Chalcedon in Bithynia, Gorgias from Leontini in Sicily, Protagoras from Abdera in Thrace, and other foreign scholars and rhetoricians who had flocked to Athens as the intellectual centre of the Hellenic world.ーFrom the introduction to ‘The Clouds’ by Aristophanes.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	360円

The Clouds【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞The Clouds is a comedy written by the celebrated playwright Aristophanes lampooning intellectual fashions in classical Athens. It was originally produced at the City Dionysia in 423 BC and it was not well received, coming last of the three plays competing at the festival that year. It was revised between 420-417 BC and thereafter it was circulated in manuscript form. No copy of the original production survives, and scholarly analysis indicates that the revised version is an incomplete form of Old Comedy. This incompleteness, however, is not obvious in translations and modern performances. The Clouds can be considered not only the world's first 'comedy of ideas' but also a brilliant and example of that genre. The play gained notoriety for its caricature of the philosopher Socrates ever since its mention in Plato's Apology as a factor contributing to the old man's trial and execution.＜/p＞＜p＞Aristophanes (circa 446 BC ? 386 BC), son of Philippus, of the deme Cydathenaus, was a comic playwright of ancient Athens.

The knights - The Acharnians - Peace - Lysistrata - The clouds.【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Perhaps the first thing to strike usーparadoxical as it may sound to say soーabout the Athenian 'Old Comedy' is its modernness. Of its very nature, satiric drama comes later than Epic and Lyric poetry, Tragedy or History; Aristophanes follows Homer and Simonides, Sophocles and Thucydides. Of its essence, it is free from many of the conventions and restraining influences of earlier forms of literature, and enjoys much of the liberty of choice of subject and licence of method that marks present day conditions of literary production both on and off the stage. Its very existence presupposes a fuller and bolder intellectual life, a more advanced and complex city civilization, a keener taste and livelier faculty of comprehension in the people who appreciate it, than could anywhere be found at an earlier epoch. Speaking broadly and generally, the Aristophanic drama has more in common with modern ways of looking at things, more in common with the conditions of the modern stage, especially in certain directionsーburlesque, extravaganza, musical farce, and even 'pantomime,' than with the earlier and graver products of the Greek mind.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	585円

The Eleven Comedies (Complete)【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞This was the fourth play in order of time produced by Aristophanes on the Athenian stage; it was brought out at the Lenaean Festival, in January, 424 B.C. Of the author's previous efforts, two, 'The Revellers' and 'The Babylonians,' were apparently youthful essays, and are both lost. The other, 'The Acharnians,' forms the first of the three Comedies dealing directly with the War and its disastrous effects and urging the conclusion of Peace; for this reason it is better ranged along with its sequels, the 'Peace' and the 'Lysistrata,' and considered in conjunction with them. In many respects 'The Knights' may be reckoned the great Comedian's masterpiece, the direct personal attack on the then all-powerful Cleon, with its scathing satire and tremendous invective, being one of the most vigorous and startling things in literature. Already in 'The Acharnians' he had threatened to "cut up Cleon the Tanner into shoe-leather for the Knights," and he now proceeds to carry his menace into execution, "concentrating the whole force of his wit in the most unscrupulous and merciless fashion against his personal enemy." In the first-mentioned play Aristophanes had attacked and satirized the whole general policy of the democratic partyーand incidentally Cleon, its leading spirit and mouthpiece since the death of Pericles; he had painted the miseries of war and invasion arising from this mistaken and mischievous line of action, as he regarded it, and had dwelt on the urgent necessity of peace in the interests of an exhausted country and ruined agriculture. Now he turns upon Cleon personally, and pays him back a hundredfold for the attacks the demagogue had made in the Public Assembly on the daring critic, and the abortive charge which the same unscrupulous enemy had brought against him in the Courts of having "slandered the city in the presence of foreigners." "In this bitterness of spirit the play stands in strong contrast with the good-humoured burlesque of 'The Acharnians' and the 'Peace,' or, indeed, with any other of the author's productions which has reached us." The characters are five only. First and foremost comes Demos, 'The People,' typifying the Athenian democracy, a rich householderーa self-indulgent, superstitious, weak creature. He has had several overseers or factors in succession, to look after his estate and manage his slaves. The present one is known as 'the Paphlagonian,' or sometimes as 'the Tanner,' an unprincipled, lying, cheating, pilfering scoundrel, fawning and obsequious to his master, insolent towards his subordinates. Two of these are Nicias and Demosthenes. Here we have real names. Nicias was High Admiral of the Athenian navy at the time, and Demosthenes one of his Vice-Admirals; both held still more important commands later in connection with the Sicilian Expedition of 415-413 B.C. Fear of consequences apparently prevented the poet from doing the same in the case of Cleon, who is, of course, intended under the names of 'the Paphlagonian' and 'the Tanner.' Indeed, so great was the terror inspired by the great man that no artist was found bold enough to risk his powerful vengeance by caricaturing his features, and no actor dared to represent him on the stage. Aristophanes is said to have played the part himself, with his face, in the absence of a mask, smeared with wine-lees, roughly mimicking the purple and bloated visage of the demagogue. The remaining character is 'the Sausage-seller,' who is egged on by Nicias and Demosthenes to oust 'the Paphlagonian' from Demos' favour by outvying him in his own arts of impudent flattery, noisy boasting and unscrupulous allurement. After a fierce and stubbornly contested trial of wits and interchange of 'Billingsgate,' 'the Sausage-seller' beats his rival at his own weapons and gains his object; he supplants the disgraced favourite, who is driven out of the house with ignominy.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	640円

It is possible that the case was argued in court but details of the trial are not recorded and Aristophanes caricatured Cleon mercilessly in his subsequent plays, especially The Knights, the first of many plays that he directed himself.

The Birds【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞＜strong＞"The Birds,＜/strong＞ is a comedy by the Ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes. It was performed in 414 BC at the City Dionysia where it won second prize. It has been acclaimed by modern critics as a perfectly realized fantasy remarkable for its mimicry of birds and for the gaiety of its songs. Unlike the author's other early plays, it includes no direct mention of the Peloponnesian War and there are few references to Athenian politics, and yet it was staged not long after the commencement of the Sicilian Expedition, an ambitious military campaign that had greatly increased Athenian commitment to the war effort. In spite of that, the play has many indirect references to Athenian political and social life. It is the longest of Aristophanes' surviving plays and yet it is a fairly conventional example of Old Comedy."

Set against the backdrop of ancient Athens, the play follows the misadventures of Strepsiades, an elderly farmer burdened by debt, who enrolls his son, Pheidippides, in the "Thinkery," a school of sophistry, in hopes of avoiding his financial obligations.＜/p＞＜p＞Through witty dialogue and absurd situations, Aristophanes skewers the pretensions of the intellectual elite, particularly the sophists, who are depicted as manipulative charlatans peddling dubious philosophies. The play's central conflict between tradition and innovation, reason and rhetoric, reflects broader tensions within Athenian society and serves as a biting critique of contemporary political and social mores.＜/p＞＜p＞"The Clouds" is renowned for its irreverent humor, clever wordplay, and sharp social commentary. Aristophanes uses the absurdity of the plot and the eccentricity of its characters to lampoon the vanity and folly of human ambition, reminding audiences of the importance of humility and moderation in the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.＜/p＞＜p＞With its timeless themes and universal appeal, "The Clouds" continues to entertain and provoke audiences to this day, offering a humorous and insightful glimpse into the complexities of human nature and the foibles of society.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	160円

Clouds The Comic Portrait of Socrates - Aristophanes' Satirical Play on Sophistry, Education, and Athenian Society【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜h4＞＜em＞What if the most dangerous idea in society wasn't ignorance-but unchecked cleverness?＜/em＞＜/h4＞＜p＞In ＜em＞Clouds＜/em＞, Aristophanes satirizes the most celebrated thinker in Athens-Socrates-and exposes the social consequences of education unmoored from morality. At the center of the play is Strepsiades, a desperate father seeking a shortcut out of debt. His answer? Enroll in Socrates' school of rhetoric to master the art of deceit.

A perfect blend of farce and philosophy, ＜em＞Clouds＜/em＞ reminds us that ideas have power-and that laughter can be the sharpest critique of all.＜/p＞＜p＞What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:＜/p＞＜ul＞＜li＞＜strong＞A Hilarious Satirical Comedy＜/strong＞＜/li＞＜li＞Follow the outrageous journey of Strepsiades and his son through Socrates' absurd school of logic and linguistic manipulation.＜/li＞＜li＞＜strong＞A Cultural Critique of Sophistry and Education＜/strong＞＜/li＞＜li＞Witness Aristophanes' takedown of intellectual fads, moral relativism, and the dangers of philosophy detached from ethics.＜/li＞＜li＞＜strong＞A Unique Portrait of Socrates＜/strong＞＜/li＞＜li＞See the philosopher not as a saintly martyr, but as a floating, cloud-gazing eccentric-through the eyes of his sharpest critic.＜/li＞＜li＞＜strong＞A Lively, Contemporary Translation＜/strong＞＜/li＞＜li＞Preserves the humor, bite, and meter of the original while ensuring clarity and resonance for today's readers.＜/li＞＜li＞＜strong＞A Timeless Reflection on Reason, Rhetoric, and Responsibility＜/strong＞＜/li＞＜li＞Explore themes of truth, persuasion, and intergenerational conflict that still shape public discourse today.＜/li＞＜/ul＞＜p＞Whether you're new to Aristophanes or rediscovering the roots of satirical drama, ＜em＞Clouds＜/em＞ offers an uproarious and thought-provoking experience that makes ancient philosophy feel strikingly-and hilariously-modern.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちらをクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。	1,288円

The Acharnians【電子書籍】[ Aristophanes ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア	＜p＞Aristophanes (/??r??st?f?ni?z/ or /??r??st?f?ni?z/;[2] Greek: ?ριστοφ?νη?, pronounced [aristop??n??s]; c. 446 ? c. 386 BC), son of Philippus, of the deme Cydathenaeum, was a comic playwright of ancient Athens. Eleven of his thirty plays survive virtually complete. These, together with fragments of some of his other plays, provide the only real examples of a genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy, and they are used to define the genre. Also known as the Father of Comedy and the Prince of Ancient Comedy, Aristophanes has been said to recreate the life of ancient Athens more convincingly than any other author. His powers of ridicule were feared and acknowledged by influential contemporaries; Plato singled out Aristophanes' play The Clouds as slander that contributed to the trial and subsequent condemning to death of Socrates although other satirical playwrights had also caricatured the philosopher. His second play, The Babylonians (now lost), was denounced by the demagogue Cleon as a slander against the Athenian polis. It is possible that the case was argued in court but details of the trial are not recorded and Aristophanes caricatured Cleon mercilessly in his subsequent plays, especially The Knights, the first of many plays that he directed himself. "In my opinion," he says through the Chorus in that play, "the author-director of comedies has the hardest job of all." (κωμ?δοδιδασκαλ?αν ε?ναι χαλεπ?τατον ?ργον ?π?ντων) (font.
