More about the book

Set in ancient Athens, this comedic play critiques the intellectual trends of the time, particularly the Sophists. The story follows Strepsiades, a man burdened by debt, who enrolls his son in a school run by Socratic thinkers to learn how to win arguments and evade responsibilities. Through witty dialogue and absurd situations, Aristophanes explores themes of education, morality, and the conflict between traditional values and new philosophies, all while delivering sharp social commentary that remains relevant today.
