Aristophanes Thesmophoriazusae

Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae is the story of a quarrel between the tragic playwright Euripides and Athens' women, who accuse him of slandering them in his plays. Austin and Olson offer a fresh text of the play; an extensive introduction; and a detailed commentary; most Greek cited in the introduction and commentary is translated, and much of the edition is accessible to non-specialists.

Not his best comedy. The second part must've been much funnier for V century B.C. Athenians who understood all the references to Euripides' plays...
