Summary
Aristophanes: Arharnians
This edition of Aristophanes' "Acharnians" was preceded, a few years ago, by his "Birds". For the publisher (two editions of "Birds" in a relatively short period of time), for the editor of the Greek text and, especially, for the translator, "Birds" were an Aristophanic "baptism of fire" - and our "Aharnians" necessarily refer to the way of presenting the original "Birds", and to the translation procedure that was applied there, and to the provision of that translation with comments and other accompanying notes, and to attitudes towards the old Attic comedy and Aristophanes' work. tried to express the introductory text in "Birds". For this reason, we considered that this edition is exempt from certain obligations that were imposed by themselves during the publication of our first translation, so we refer the reader of "Aharnjan" to those parts of the explanatory equipment of "The Bird" where he can find general information that facilitates access to Aristophanes' comedy: these are, first of all, the Introduction (pp. 5-84 "The Bird"), the Note on the manuscript transmission of Aristophanes' works (pp. 296-298), Chronological survey (pp. 437-445) and a note at the end of the Survey of metrical schemes (pp. 458-461). "Acharnians" is the earliest of the eleven preserved works of Aristophanes - and the oldest Greek comedy that we know in its entirety. But they contain (or at least indicated) everything (or almost everything) that characterizes, and makes poetically effective, the creative practice of Aristophanes' mature age - both on the level of motifs, on the level of microstructure, and on the level of global composition, and on the overall level of theatrical "language". That is why comparing the results of the analysis of "Aharnjan" with the conclusions that we thought we could draw from observing the structure and stage functioning of "Birds" is not only useful, but also, in our opinion, exciting in a special way.
