We will read one Aristophanes’ Thesmophoriazousae in Greek, and most of the other extant plays in English translation. We will also review recent scholarship on Aristophanes, with a particular focus on his comedies as political commentary, as literary criticism, and as evidence for social and sexual norms in Classical Athens.

Course meets concurrently with GREK 307. Intermediate students should enroll in GREK 207; advanced students should enroll in GREK 307. Course requirements will differ according to level.
