The Frogs by Aristophanes

Send us Fan MailIn the ancient play The Frogs, which has survived 2.5 thousand years and been a lynchpin of many hundreds of academic careers, Dionysus and his slave (eesh) Xanthius go in desperate search of funny bits they can do. Some good funny bits include: spanking, calling the audience idiots, and slagging off the guy who once gave the author a bad review.We talk ancient Greek theatre funding, the looming threat of (Spartan) war, and which writers we would bring back from the dead.Content Warnings: War/Slavery/Death/Execution/Murder/SexismHave some feedback?
