## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Beware of the Kindle version.
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2017*

The Kindle edition sold for this title is a different edition entirely, with only the Acharmians, translator not even named. Beware. I give five stars for the book itself. Yes, the comedies were raunchy. I'd rather that the translator went overboard a bit rather than having students miss the innuendo. There's enough that needs explaining just in terms of culture and politics, so it's great to not have to explain every little dirty joke too.

    Whoah now, Mr. Henderson
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2010*

I have many of Aristophanes' works in several translations, but was required to buy this one for a different class last semester. I was looking forward to a translation with a "fresh" perspective, but I guess I wasn't quite prepared.This translation does its best to be current, but it really tries too hard. The plays are rife with weird slang and unnecessary cursing that really detracts from the plays. In some parts the plays are downright vulgar. I am well aware that these were far from chaste plays in their heyday, but I think Jeffrey Henderson went a little too far in an effort to shock his readers, rather than provide historical accuracy. All in all, if you're looking for a novel perspective on Greek theater you may find this captivating. If you are looking for one good copy of Aristophanes' works, keep looking.
