22.  ARISTOPHANES’ APOLOGY:  including a Transcript from Euripides; being the Last Adventure of Balaustion.

    [Published in April, 1875. (Poetical Works, 1889, Vol. 
    XIII. pp. 1-258).]

Aristophanes’ Apology, as its sub-title indicates, is a kind of sequel to Balaustion’s Adventure.  It is the record, in Balaustion’s words, of an adventure which happened to her after her marriage with Euthukles.  On the day when the news of Euripides’ death reached Athens, as Balaustion and her husband were sitting at home, toward nightfall, Aristophanes, coming home with his revellers from the banquet which followed his triumph in the play of Thesmophoriazousai, burst in upon them.
