Aristophanis Plutus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781147919554)

Aristophanis Plutus, by Aristophanes, is a classical Greek comedy that explores themes of wealth, poverty, and social justice. This edition, edited by Adolf Von Velsen, offers readers an accessible entry point into one of Aristophanes' most celebrated works. "Plutus" tells the story of Chremylus, an Athenian farmer who seeks the aid of Plutus, the god of wealth, to redistribute riches more equitably among the deserving. Through witty dialogue and satirical scenarios, the play critiques the corrupting influence of money and the flaws in Athenian society. This edition preserves the timeless appeal of Aristophanes' humor and social commentary, making it a valuable resource for students and enthusiasts of classical literature alike.
