Description
Book SynopsisClouds has always fascinated students of philosophy because of its portrayal of Socrates as an atheist and a teacher of dishonest rhetoric, justly punished by the agents of the gods whom he refuses to recognise. [Greek text with facing translation, commentary and notes. 2007 reprint of the 1991 third edition, with addenda and a new bibliography.]
Trade Review‘For an overall series of the entire corpus, including critical text, commentary, translation, and full introduction, all subsumed to one man’s intelligent analysis and wide-ranging scholarship, Sommerstein stands triumphantly alone. [...] Aristophanes is lucky to have so devoted, erudite, and witty a modern celebrant.’
Scholia‘This work is a fine and unpretentious introduction to Aristophanic comedy.’
Journal of Hellenic Studies'Sommerstein has exercised throughout the refreshing independence of judgement, backed by learning.’
