About the author

Aristophanes (Greek: Αριστοφάνης; c. 446 – c. 386 BC) was an Ancient Greek comic playwright from Athens and a poet of Old Attic Comedy. He wrote in total forty plays, of which eleven survive virtually complete today. These provide the most valuable examples of a genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy and are used to define it, along with fragments from dozens of lost plays by Aristophanes and his contemporaries.
Also known as "The Father of Comedy" and "the Prince of Ancient Comedy", Aristophanes has been said to recreate the life of ancient Athens more convincingly than any other author. His powers of ridicule were feared and acknowledged by influential contemporaries; Plato singled out Aristophanes' play The Clouds as slander that contributed to the trial and subsequent condemning to death of Socrates, although other satirical playwrights had also caricatured the philosopher.
Aristophanes' second play, The Babylonians (now lost), was denounced by Cleon as a slander against the Athenian polis. It is possible that the case was argued in court, but details of the trial are not recorded and Aristophanes caricatured Cleon mercilessly in his subsequent plays, especially The Knights, the first of many plays that he directed himself. "In my opinion," he says through that play's Chorus, "the author-director of comedies has the hardest job of all."

[La lettrice sull'albero · Rating 3 out of 5]

Divertente in certi punti non ho capito molto.
Non mi ha soddisfatto appieno poi Lesina se la prende con i Socratici solo perché non credono negli dei e non con lui che ha pensato di risolvere il suo problema con l'imbroglio. Bello il fatto che ci si aspettava che il figlio tenesse un discorso e salvasse il padre invece se la prende con lui . Non capisco che c'entra picchiare la madre nel discorso bho.

Mi è piaciuta la critica al pensiero sofistico. Strepsiade mi è sembrato un personaggio che incarna l’inganno e l’ignoranza. Il finale, con la scuola bruciata, è molto simbolico e mi ha colpito.
