  In The Women’s Festival, Aristophanes crafts a hilarious and provocative comedy centered on gender conflict, theatrical satire, and religious ritual. The play follows the famous tragedian Euripides, who fears that the women of Athens will punish him at the Thesmophoria, a secret female-only festival honoring Demeter, for his unflattering portrayals of women in his plays. To counter this, he enlists his relative Mnesilochus to disguise himself as a woman and infiltrate the gathering. Chaos erupts when Mnesilochus is discovered, leading to a series of farcical escapes, mistaken identities, and witty parodies of Euripides’ own tragedies. Through sharp dialogue and slapstick humor, Aristophanes critiques both Athenian misogyny and the dramatic arts, offering a bold commentary on gender roles, social customs, and the power of satire in classical Greek society.

  Toronto is not only Canada’s economic capital, but it also has one of the most diverse populations and has been classified as one of the world’s most livable cities.
  		 
  But Toronto’s past and present are full of weird facts and tidbits from the truly trivial to the seriously strange:
  		 
  The name ”Toronto” first appeared on a French map as ”Lac de Taranteau,” derived from the Iroquois word tkaronto.
  		 
  Today, Yorkville is a trendy downtown shopping area but it was once a cemetery for those who could not afford a church burial; the cemetery was removed in the 1870s, but human remains keep turning up at every modern-day Yorkville construction project.
  		 
  The land on which Toronto was built was purchased from the Mississauga First Nation band for a few hundred British pounds, 2000 gun flints, two dozen each of kettles and hats, all the hand mirrors they could carry and 100 gallons of excellent navy rum.
  		 
  Olympic sculler Ned Hanlan got in lots of midnight practice rowing crates of whisky for his bootlegger dad. 
  		 
  William Davies, whose pork-processing company earned Toronto the nickname ”Hogtown,” died after being butted by a goat.
  		 
  The abandoned Queen Street underground streetcar station is a location for the latest remake of the slasher movie Nightmare on Elm Street.
  		 
  And many more fascinating facts.

  A comic masterpiece of medieval French literature, Aucassin and Nicolette is categorized by its anonymous author as a "chantefable," or "song-story," and is the only known work of this kind. This edition includes the thirteenth-century French text and a modern English translation on facing pages. An introduction outlines the text's background, genre, literary relations, historical contexts, major themes, and relevance to a contemporary audience. Its alternating sections of verse and prose recount a story of love between the aristocratic but distinctly unheroic young lord Aucassin and his beloved Nicolette.
