About the Book

English summary: Brekekekex, ko-ax, ko-ax! The croaking of the chorus of Frogs accompanying the katabasis of Dionysus, who travelled to Hades to find a talented tragic poet, is unquestionably Aristophanes' best-known verse: the animals in his plays deserved to be the focus of a study aimed at revealing the ways in which they define the comic poet's work to the point of symbolising it. Animals good to eat, zoomorphic choruses and animal metaphors and comparisons permeate his writings and his scenes, all vested as they are with a vital symbolic role in representing the human society of interest to the poet, and constituting the real key to the interpretation of his entire work. Whether it is a matter of this representative of ancient Comedy's style and dramatic art, or of how he depicts the City-State through utopia and political satire, or of the dialogue that he maintains with literary tradition and his tireless meditations on the vocation of poet, there is not one single aspect of Aristophane's body of plays which cannot be enhanced by a study of his bestiary. French description: Brekekekex koax koax. Le coassement du chur des Grenouilles qui accompagne la catabase de Dionysos, parti aux Enfers chercher un bon poete tragique, est sans doute le vers le plus celebre d'Aristophane: les animaux de son theatre meritaient une etude qui cherchat a verifier en quoi ils pouvaient definir l'uvre du poete comique au point d'en devenir l'embleme. Animaux bons a manger, churs zoomorphes, metaphores et comparaisons animales qui envahissent le texte et la scene, tous sont investis d'une fonction symbolique essentielle dans la representation de la societe des hommes qui interesse le poete, et constituent une veritable clef d'interpretation pour l'ensemble de son uvre. Qu'il s'agisse du style et de la dramaturgie de ce representant de la Comedie ancienne, du regard qu'il porte sur la Cite a travers l'utopie et la satire politique, ou encore du dialogue qu'il entretient avec la tradition litteraire et de la reflexion qu'il mene inlassablement sur le metier de poete, il n'est en fait pas un seul aspect du theatre d'Aristophane qui ne puisse etre eclaire par l'etude de son bestiaire. Cet ouvrage a obtenu le Prix Desrousseaux de l'Association des Etudes grecques.
