De Ridders by Aristophanes
QR code
"De Ridders" by Aristophanes is a comedy written in 424 BC. This satirical play targets Cleon, a powerful Athenian politician who had previously prosecuted Aristophanes. The story follows a sausage seller who competes with Cleon for the favor of Demos, an old man symbolizing the Athenian people. Through contests of shameless flattery and outrageous boasts, the rivals battle for political control. The play offers a biting commentary on corruption and demagoguery during
the Peloponnesian War, winning first prize at its debut performance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
