Reseña del libro "Aristophanes BIRDS: Interlineal GREEK-ENGLISH text, with alternate LITERAL & VERSE translations (en Inglés)"
Two Athenian Citizens - fed up with the unending litigiousness of their compatriots - leave the hustle-and-bustle of the City to seek a better life... Coming upon the mythical king Tereus - a man whom the gods had turned into "the Hoopoe" - they decide to found a new city, with him, among the birds: Cloudcuckooland...Here, for the first time, even those without the mastery of Ancient Greek will come as close as the Greeks themselves to speaking the language of the gods, and to understanding the songs of birds...This book offers all those wishing to read, sing, play, or study Aristophanes' Birds - his most celebrated masterpiece - all that they need to truly appreciate the genius of the original: a lively and modern text offering two complimentary versions of the play - one in fleetfooted verse, where much once obscure has been stood to reason by a few carefully concocted rhymes - and a second, a near-verbatim interlineal, woven into a curated copy of the original Attic Greek.Like its forerunner in this series - the Peace "worth more than the paper it's printed on" - this volume includes a customized glossary of explanatory notes, offering tidbits and insights once only ever glimpsed from the dizzying heights of Cloudcuckooland itself...Oh, and a warning: This book contains fowl language.
