What is the most literal translation of Aristophanes play Lysistrata? Additionally I'm interested in creating my own adaptation so I would like to get a list of english translations (it does not need to be a long list, two or three would do) which are copyright free that I can use as a base for my adaptation. |

Hi, The play and commentary translated by A.H. Sommerstein (published by Aris & Phillips) is probably the most literal translation, though it is not "free". You can get the play in two places online I know about. The EServer Drama Collection http://drama.eserver.org/plays/classical/aristophanes/lysistrata.txt/document_view Project Gutenburg Lysistrata by Aristophanes http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/7700 Both of those are in the public domain, so you should be able to use these in your adaptation with proper reference. thanks, webadept-ga |
