Written in 414 B.C. in the aftermath of yet another disaster in the endless Peloponnesian War, this is Aristophene's great send-up of the follies of men and war. It famously opens with a wild fertility ritual involving a giant red phallus. In a straight-forward colloquial translation by Nicholas Randall.
