Aristophanes' Frogs was produced in 405 BC, shortly after the deaths of the two great veteran
Athenian tragic dramatists Euripides and Sophocles; it was restaged a year later, a few weeks
before a starving Athens at last accepted defeat in the long Peloponnesian War. Dionysus, the
god of drama, wine and joyful celebration, goes down to the underworld to bring his favourite
poet, Euripides, back from the dead, and surprises both himself and the audience by bringing
back instead Aeschylus, who had died fifty years before, with the mission of saving both
Athens and Tragedy from ruin. The contest for the throne of tragedy between Euripides and
Aeschylus is the earliest sustained piece of literary criticism in the Western tradition.
