Clouds [Paperback]

This new paperback edition of Aristophanes' popular play includes the complete Greek text and extensive notes and commentary. Dover examines the two versions of the play, recounts the history of the text, and analyzes a number of problems surrounding the play's interpretation, including the Greek notion of right and wrong, the purpose of the chorus, and Aristophanes' sexual jokes.

A work of unusual excellence and an indispensable tool for all who are interested in understanding Aristophanes. --Hermathena

A splendid book, easily the best edition of a play of Aristohanes yet to appear in this country. --Classical Review

At last we have a major edition and a splendid commentart remarkable both for its learning and its conciseness. --American Journal of Philology
