«Las Tesmoforias» is the Greek comedy by Aristophanes, published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (95 pages, in Spanish).
During the festival of the Thesmophoria, the women of Athens, gathered in the temple of the goddesses, plot against Euripides and decide to put him on trial for the bad image he gives of them in his tragedies. Disguises, parodies and caricatures turn the trial into a satire of fifth-century BC Athens.
Introduction, translation and notes by Luis M. Macía Aparicio; published in 1999; original Greek title: Θεσμοφοριάζουσαι.
For readers of classical theater and students of ancient 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.
