Singing with the Frogs
How unexpected and 🤩 fun!
Great read and video! I knew it as Vre ke ke kex ko ax ko ax and remember reading this as a kid! Loved it! It was turned into a children’s story. Makes me realise the difference on reading Aristofanes compared to kids’ stories.
It’s so clever. The rhythm even recurs in the later contest between tragedians, when Aeschylus keeps interrupting Euripides with ληκύθιον ἀπώλεσεν.
