Βάτραχοι by Aristophanes
"Βάτραχοι" by Aristophanes is a comedy performed in 405 BC. The god Dionysus, troubled by the decline of tragic theater after Euripides' death, journeys to the underworld with his slave Xanthias to revive the playwright. Their comic adventure leads them through encounters with angry spirits and mistaken identities. At Pluto's palace, Dionysus must judge a fierce debate between Euripides and Aeschylus for the throne of tragic drama. The play blends irreverent humor
with sharp literary criticism, examining poetry's role in Athenian civic life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
