«Las Tesmoforias» is the comedy by Aristophanes, published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
In the play, the Athenian women, gathered during the festival of the Thesmophoria, decide to judge Euripides for the image he offers of them in his tragedies. The comedy combines cross-dressing, parodies and misunderstandings to satirize both the female role in fifth-century BC Athens and the dramatic art itself.
This edition includes introduction, translation and notes by Luis M. Macía Aparicio and corresponds to the second edition.
For readers of classical theatre and ancient comedy, including students of classical literature.
Aristophanes was an Ancient Greek comic playwright from Athens. He wrote forty plays, of which eleven survive virtually complete. The majority of his surviving plays belong to the genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy and are considered its most valuable examples. Aristophanes's plays were performed at the religious festivals of Athens, mostly the City Dionysia and the Lenaia, and several of them won the first prize in their respective competitions.
