More about the book
The satirical comedy "The Clouds" critiques Athenian intellectualism through the story of Strepsiades, a farmer seeking to evade debt by attending a school run by a bumbling Socrates. In contrast, "Peace" imagines a war-free world, following Trygaeus as he journeys to find the goddess of peace amid the chaos of the Peloponnesian War. Both plays showcase Aristophanes' sharp wit, clever wordplay, and irreverent humor, making them significant works in ancient Greek literature that continue to resonate today.
