About the author

Aristophanes

-450–-388

Best known for turning politics, war, and everyday Athenian life into fearless comedy, this ancient playwright helped define what satire on stage could do. His surviving plays are still lively, sharp, and surprisingly modern in their mix of jokes and serious social criticism.
