About the author

Aristophanes

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."

Состав аудиосборника, что я одолел: "Облака", "Лисистрата", "Лягушки", "Женщины в народном собрании".

Приятные, умные, неустаревшие вещи. В очередной раз убеждаюсь, что многие вещи в мире человеков особо не меняются тысячелетиями. Испытал лёгкий культурный шок от местами сортирно-генитального юмора, но со своим уставом в храм Артемиды не ходят. Порой действие излишне затягивается.

Тут уже удивлялись тому, что в комедиях Аристофана много сортирного юмора, но это, наверное, нормально. Он развлекает, а не пытается возвысить, хотя Шекспир, как мне кажется, тоже полон, но в более изящной форме. Но кроме пердежа там есть Эсхил, Еврипид и Сократ, чего не хватает сейчас. Даёшь пиесу про Диму Быкова и Славоя Жижека с пердильным юмором!
