Aristophanes (445-380 BC) - Greek comic playwright who wrote in the style
known as Old Comedy, a free and farcical form that allowed him to ridicule
the public figures and institutions of his time. Despite difficulties in
translation, most of his sharp-witted humor still comes through today.
Peace (421 BC) - Often called Aristophanes' wittiest work, it is the story
of Trygaeus, who flies to Heaven searching for the Goddess of Peace.
Farmers and workingmen are enlisted to bring Peace back to Greece.
