The Comedies of Aristophanes (1853)
by Aristophanes, translated by William James Hickie

→

The Comedies of Aristophanes is a prose translation of the eleven surviving plays written by the Greek comic poet Aristophanes. Hickie's translations were made from the Greek text as edited by Dindorf, and follow the original words as closely as possible, with explanatory notes and with quotations from freer translations when a literal translation into English is difficult.
