The Frogs is an enjoyable play, where the characters are witty, Euripides and Aeschylus mock each other's works, find mistakes and their poetic craft is scalled by God Dionysus, who has to decide whom he must revive, in order to save Athens from its decline. (A poet's opinion was important in hard times) Dionysus' plan was to bring back Euripides, who died a year before, but Aeschylus comes with a better advice for saving Athens. The rhetorical confruntations between Aeshylus and Euripides seem more like an allegorical fight between an idealist (Aeschylus) and a rationalist (Euripides). The irony and sarcasm are pretty obvious, but some jokes are difficult to understand without some helpful notes. ### ⭐ Completely misleading placement by Amazon.com for a poor quality product. *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2015* I feel totally cheated. I went on Amazon to purchase The Focus library edition of the Frogs, translated by Jeffrey Henderson. The page offered this up as a hardcover edition on page titled "Frogs (Focus Classical Library)" and on the jump page when I clicked on the hardcover option (http://www.amazon.com/Frogs-Kessinger-Legacy-Reprints/dp/1169239781/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1445900318&sr=8-1) the first review was a commentary on the Henderson translation. Completely deceptive. NOT the Henderson translation. No editorial apparatus, preface, notes, nothing. Not even line numbers, which are necessary to a good quality translation. And the translation is not Henderson's, although, because of the complete lack of attribution or editorial apparatus, I have no idea whose it is. And it cost me $27.16 versus $10.95 for the paperback of a quality edition. From now on, I will be much more careful, because now I have to buy it again, and this was due to very deceptive page structuring. ### ⭐⭐ Old fashioned translation washes the play out *by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2013* While "The Frogs" is full of satire, self-mockery, and lots of Greek humor, you wouldn't know it from this translation. I honestly think it's worth the $2-3 to purchase a modern translation (either online or check your local used bookstore), so that you can enjoy the play rather than wading through syrupy, old-fashioned language that saps the life out of the play. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/177744168-the-frogs-paperback-january-1-2005](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/177744168-the-frogs-paperback-january-1-2005) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
