Can You Say That?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Let me start by saying that this book has the best translations of Aristophanes that I've ever read. Henderson's translations contain really obscene language. That is not to say that I only liked it for the swears. The flow of the play with this obscenity is like the flow of a modern comedy. Why should something as great as a classical play be subject to censorship? Thanks to Henderson and his translation, we now know exactly what the Athenians saw when they watched Aristophanes.
