Aristophanes

Clouds (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Today, we tend to picture ancient Greece as a land of togas, lyres and plenty of philosophical pondering -- but even back then, people were annoyed with the likes of Socrates, Plato and other intellectual blowhards. Brilliant playwright Aristophanes mercilessly skewers pretentious intellectuals in his comic masterwork The Clouds.

Autorenporträt

ARISTOPHANES (c. 446-c. 386 BCE) was ancient Athens' most celebrated comic playwright and satirist. As a leading voice of Old Comedy, he mixed slapstick, satire, and sharp political critique. His works lampooned powerful figures, from generals to philosophers like Socrates. Plays such as Lysistrata, The Clouds, and The Frog are still performed today.
