This volume shifts perspective to the everyday aspects of ancient rhetoric-its teaching, exercises, and daily life-and concentrates on persons less visible in narratives of rhetoric's history: teachers, slaves and freedmen, speech performers, political dissidents, mavericks, and dropouts.

Aeschylus was the first of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays can still be read or performed, the others being Sophocles and Euripides.

The play is notable for its absurd humour, its imaginative appeal for an end to the Peloponnesian War and for the author's spirited response to condemnations of his previous play, The Babylonians, by politicians such as Cleon, who had reviled it as a slander against the Athenian polis.

The Frogs tells the story of the god Dionysus, despairing of the state of Athens' tragedians, and allegedly recovering from the disastrous Battle of Arginusae.

The play concerns a group of women, the leader of which is Praxagora.

The Clouds can be considered not only the world's first extant 'comedy of ideas' but also a brilliant and successful example of that genre.

Unlike the author's other early plays, it includes no direct mention of the Peloponnesian War and there are few references to Athenian politics, and yet it was staged not long after the commencement of the Sicilian Expedition, an ambitious military campaign that had greatly increased Athenian commitment to the war effort.

The play features an elderly Athenian citizen, Chremylos, and his slave Cario or Carion.

The play is notable for its joyous anticipation of peace and for its celebration of a return to an idyllic life in the countryside.

Mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient people, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices.
