The Comedies of Aristophanes, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)LULU Press, 27. apr. 2018 - 332 sider Excerpt from The Comedies of Aristophanes, Vol. 2 Whether this work will be continued further than the present Volume is as yet uncertain. The four plays now offered to the public form a subject complete in itself, and were evidently meant to be a dramatic Tetralogue, developing, in the author's peculiar manner, his idea of a people-king, in his three great capacities, moral, intellectual, and political. Too many 1mportant considerations connect themselves with such a subject, not to make it desirable that some means of judging of it, however inadequate, should be before an intelligent Public; but whether the lighter matter which remains, may not as well be left kuntouched, or reserved for abler hands, is left for others to determine.
