ARISTÓFANES, (ARISTOPHANES), As Aves. Tradução de M.de F. Sousa Silva. Edições 70, Lisboa, 1989. 211p. Paperback. Series: Clássicos Gregos e Latinos. (Rare). 'If the other translations live up to this one in scholarship and accuracy (...), the series will deserve the warmest of welcomes. (...). The translator (...) is clearly an authority on her subject. In an informative and sensible introduction she discusses the 'Birds' and its background, highlighting effectively the play's relation to contemporary Athens and its use of avian imagery. (...) The bird names are too often handled without ornithological precision.' (W. GEOFFREY ARNOTT in The Classical Review (New Series), 1990, p.470). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 14.50 (Antiquarian)
