With demagoguery and national populism in full swing after the death of Pericles in 429, the play demonstrates the power of theater to express dissent against a public figure through dramatic mockery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNearly 2,500 years later, this new translation from Mike Lippman and Wilfred E. Major-unsacrificing in accuracy, pace, and tone, but thoughtfully adapted for a 21st-century American audience-demonstrates how relevant this ancient, political comedy is for our contemporary moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Lippman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1944296220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944296223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Theran Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Mike Lippman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072538341631,"sku":"9781944296223","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b165e428-4938-4505-b227-1bf04b52b8f3.jpg?v=1685442571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/men-and-their-horses-mike-lippman-9781944296223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
