Autor

Aristophanes (446-386 BCE) was a Greek comedy writer, who produced about 40 plays throughout his career. His work was the embodiment of "Old Comedy"-an early form of the genre that used exaggerated characters and scenarios. Aristophanes' first play, The Banqueters, was produced in 427 BCE, quickly followed by The Babylonians. His most famous production, Lysistrata, was initially performed in 411 BCE and centers on one woman's attempt to end a war by holding a sex strike. Due to his sensationalized plots and vibrant characters, Aristophanes is considered one of the architects of Greek comedy.
