Eleven of his 40 plays survive virtually complete. These plays, provide the only real examples of a genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy, and they are in fact used to define the genre.

This volume includes 'The Wasps,' 'The Birds,' 'The Frogs,' 'The Thesmophoriazusae,' 'The Ecclesiazusae,' and 'Plutus.'
