"Wie? Das verstehe ich nicht. Sprich irgendwie weniger gelehrt und klarer."
-- ja, ne - wie oft denken wir alle das?
Aristophanes schreibt mal wieder wunderbares Meta-Theater (und ich könnte so was von heulen, dass von seinen Werken so wenige erhalten sind - und von denen von ihm durch den Kakao gezogenen auch) und Niklas Holzberg liefern eine wunderbar lesbare deutsche Übersetzung.

I liked this a lot :). This comedy was very funny (and weird, but that's part of what made it enjoyable), The fact that I have quite some knowledge of Greek mythology definitely helped, otherwise I'd probably be very confused...
This is the first ancient Greek comedy I've ever read, I'm curious to read some more!

Had to read this (several times over and several different translations) for university. Although I’m not a fan on reading plays, this one made me chuckle several times.

Pretty fun to read out loud in a group as if it was a comedic play. But that made the entire experience, since I normally don't enjoy reading drama in silence. So get yourself a bunch of nerds.

If I had seen this play in 400 BC I would have given it 5 stars. The story would have simply been better had I understood all of the references, seen the actor's costumes and their acting, and had heard the chorus sing.
Obviously that's never going to happen though.
Some jokes weren't my style either, again I assume ancient grecian-me would have been more receptive.
I still enjoyed reading it though, especially the first part.

Gracioso en ocasiones, la partes con los siervos son buenisimas.
Pero muchas de las bromas se refieren a trozos de obras de la epoca. Mi edicion afortunadamente tenia muchas notas a pie de pagina pero aun asi era muy dificil seguir las bromas. Mas bien los insultos que se tiraban los unos a los otros.
No me cabe duda que en la epoca fue lo maximo pero ahora mismo o al menos para mi sin tener conocimiento de las otras obras me perdi las partes mas graciosas.
