About the Book

Les Guepes marque le retour d'Aristophane a la comedie politique, vraisemblablement en raison de l'accueil mitige recu par Les Nuees. Dans cette comedie inusable, reprise par Racine dans Les Plaideurs, Aristophane s'en prend au systeme judiciaire athenien, a ce gout si prononce a Athenes pour la chicane, et que les recentes reformes de Cleon avaient encore accentue. Philocleon ( celui qui aime Cleon ) est atteint du mal procedurier si bien que son fils delycleon ( celui qui deteste Cleon) est contraint de le sequestrer pour le retenir loin des tribunaux. Outre l'humour corrosif des dialogues, la piece propose une reflexion sur la justice, et recut le premier rang aux Leneennes de 422. La Paix, representee aux Grandes Dionysies de 421, fut jouee peu de jours avant la signature de la paix de Nicias. Alors que d'apres negociations se poursuivaient entre Athenes et Sparte, Aristophane donne son point de vue en dressant un tableau idyllique de la Paix, deesse jusqu'ici enfermee dans une caverne et que Trygee, avec l'aide de laboureurs, est allee delivrer. Notre edition rassemble en un volume ces deux testaments politiques d'Aristophane. Chaque piece est precedee d'une notice qui lui est propre. Celle-ci fournit un argument succinct de la comedie et surtout donne un eclairage sur la situation politique ou les points de civilisation necessaire a la bonne comprehension des deux pieces d' actualite . Le lecteur trouvera notamment une presentation tres claire des institutions juridiques atheniennes ainsi que des implications de la paix de Nicias. L'ouvrage est en outre assorti de notes accompagnant la lecture.
