A book I picked up after reading a mention of it in Gimbutas' book on Old Europe. A bit disappointing in that the frog symbolism mentioned in Gimbutas' books doesn't seem to really play a role in the play, which is actually mostly about current Athenian affairs, both cultural and social.
The only interesting point in relationship to Old Europe is the Chorus in the play - the use of masks and choral poetry as surviving remnants of worship ceremonies from a forgotten worldview and religion.
