Aristophanes Ancient Comedy Translation Aristófanes Comedia Antigua traducción In this paper we aim to reflect on general issues in the translation of ancient classical texts, particularly Greek theater -given their nature as scripts intended for the stage-. At the same time, based on our experience as translators of Aristophanes, as well as on the testimonies of other translators of the same author, we will point out a series of difficulties -not exhaustive-, when transposing the Aristophanic language into Spanish, including, puns, speaking names, obscene lexicon, colloquialisms, mentions to the events and characters of his time. En este trabajo nos proponemos reflexionar sobre cuestiones generales de la traducción de textos clásicos antiguos, en particular de teatro griego –dada su naturaleza de libretos pensados para la escena–. A su vez, a partir de nuestra experiencia como traductores de Aristófanes, así como de los testimonios de otros traductores del mismo autor, nos ocupamos de puntualizar una serie de dificultades –no exhaustivas–, a la hora de trasponer la lengua aristofánica al español, entre otras, los juegos lingüísticos, los nombres parlantes, el léxico obsceno, los coloquialismos, las menciones a los hechos y personajes de su tiempo.
