description: This book offers a fresh and challenging multi-disciplinary interpretation of Aristophanes' Frogs . Drawing on a wide range of literary and anthropological approaches, it seeks to explore how membership in Greek fifth-century society would have shaped one's understanding of the play, and, more specifically, of Dionysus as a dramatic figure.
