Aristophanes in Performance 421BC-AD2007: Peace, Birds and Frogs
by Edith Hall and Amanda Wrigley
Flying to Heaven to demand an end to war, building Cloudcuckooland in the sky, descending to Hades to retrieve a dead tragedian - such were the cosmic missions on which Aristophanes, the father of comedy, sent his heroes of the classical Athenian stage.
