"Find a translation that keeps the dick jokes and you'll be set."

I will always love Aristophanes for introducing me to the Greek word âEruproktes,â meaning âgaping asshole,â and also having the same prefix that gave us Europe.

Reading the Clouds in school was such a cathartic way to end our classics unit. After weeks of getting tortured with Plato's prose at too young an age it was nice to see the philosophers get dunked on savagely.

"The Athenians knew they were a mess and celebrated it."
I've never identified with an ancient city so well.

The best thing is that they 're still played today in Greece, with improvised dick jokes about modern politicians ON TOP of the ancient ones.
Aristophanes managed to be still relevant after 2000 years

My favorite part of Peace is not just the guy Flying the Dung Beetle into heaven, but that fact he spends two minutes chastising and begging the audience not to fart in case the beetle knocks him off and goes looking for food.

Aristophanes wrote possibly the best line in any play, when Dionysus is trying to follow Charons instructions on operating a rowboat:
DIONYSUS: (doing everything wrong) "Like this?"
185 |
"he was taken to court by a politician for slander"
So, what you're telling me is that we haven't changed in almost 2500 years

Wait wait we skipped over the women having their own âparallel society.â Thereâs definitely more to analyze there

It's The Frogs. The Frogs, beyond all doubt, when a harassed and terrified Dionysus rushes up to the priest of Dionysus in the first row, and screams, "You're my priest! DO something!"

I have seen both "Clouds" and "Women of Thesmophoria" live at the ancient theater of Epidaurus. The actors said a lot of the dick jokes BUT the English subtitles they had on a projector did not! And I say, that's unfair.

Aristophanes: We know exactly what is wrong with Athenian society and would ask the people in charge of Athenian society to do anything about it, it's just that what's wrong with Athenian society is the people in charge of Athenian society doing anything they want.

While we're here, one subject I cut for time is the relationship between "The Clouds" and the trial of Socrates. It's commonly assumed that Aristophanes' satire played a part in Athens' decision to charge and ultimately kill Socrates, but that interpretation doesn't really hold up to scrutiny. The Clouds was performed over 20 Years before Socrates' trial. If the play had that strong an effect on Athens, we can assume Socrates would have been charged far sooner. And Plato's own writings paint Aristophanes rather favorably â if Plato blamed Aristophanes for the' trial, he does not make that obvious. There IS one snide line in Socrates "Apology" that seems to a modern reader like it's referring to "The Clouds", but really we can't be sure. Aristophanes was not the only Comic playwright in Athens, and certainly not the only person who disliked Socrates. Did The Clouds contribute to a negative public perception of Socrates? Sure, in part, at least when it was performed in 423.. But it's faaar more likely that Socrates' trial and death in 399 owe more to his persistent habit of being a Colossal Pain In The Ass to whomever he was speaking with. Reading The Apology makes it clear that nobody had the power to make Athens hate Socrates more than Socrates. -B
