Synopsis

Unlike the author's other early plays, it includes no direct mention of the Peloponnesian War and there are few references to Athenian politics, and yet it was staged not long after the commencement of the Sicilian Expedition, an ambitious military campaign that had greatly increased Athenian commitment to the war effort.

À propos de l'auteur

Aristophanes (c. 446-c. 386 BCE) was an ancient Greek playwright and one of the principal representatives of Old Comedy. His works are known for their inventive plots, sharp political satire, and bold use of fantasy and parody. Writing during the height of classical Athens, Aristophanes produced plays that both entertained and critiqued the social and political life of his time, leaving a lasting influence on the development of Western drama.
