This collection brings together four of Aristophanes' most celebrated comedies: "The Clouds," "Plutus," "The Frogs," and "The Birds." Translated by Richard Cumberland, Henry Fielding, and Charles Dunster, these plays offer a vibrant window into ancient Greek society and thought.

These enduring works showcase Aristophanes' genius for blending slapstick humor with insightful observations, making them essential reading for anyone interested in classical literature, theater, and the roots of Western comedy.
