ABSTRACT

The Frogs' chorus is the best known passage in Aristophanes, and to the many discussions three more have recently been added by Garry Wills in Hermes, xcvii (1969), 306-17, Jean Defradas in R. E. A. lxxi (1969) 23-37, and Nancy Demand in C. P. lxv (1970), 83-7. Wills's article is especially helpful in clarifying the main problems and in showing the inadequacy of previous interpretations, even though his own interpretation may not command general agreement. This chapter points out one or two considerations which recent writers have overlooked. Some modern scholars have tried to bolster the scholiast's view by adducing practical objections to making the Frogs visible. The chapter shows that in the original performance the Frogs must have appeared in sight of the audience, as perhaps considerations of dramatic effectiveness should have made people realize in any case.
