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.

`Lada-Richards provides a powerful and long overdue appreciation of the complexity, sophistication, and importance of Aristophanes Frogs.' Mark W. Padilla, Bucknell University.
`an important, comprehensive, theoretically sophisticated, and well-researched treatment of a single play ... a most welcome study.' Mark W. Padilla, Bucknell University.
`This book assembles many qualities. It commands attention by its scientific rigor ... based on a courageous multidiciplinary analysis, on an impressingly wide range of literary and cultural approaches and a series of cultural and above all religious considerations that have never before been used to clarify the text of the frogs.' M.Delaunois, Les Etudes Classiques, University of Namur.
