The Frogs

Aristophanes

405 BCE88 pages

A raucous comedy from ancient Greece, this play follows a journey to the underworld in search of a great writer who can save the city through powerful words. Along the way, the protagonist encounters absurd characters, witty debates, and a chorus of amphibians, all while poking fun at cultural tastes, literary trends, and political issues of the time. It's a sharp, satirical romp that blends slapstick humor with surprisingly serious questions about art and leadership.
