Aristophanes Author

Aristophanes was a prominent comic playwright in the Ancient Greek era. He wrote books that were humorous and often touched on issues of moral principles, political life and social customs. His books featured characters involved in clever word play and clever caricatures poking fun at politicians and cultural ways of life. He used satire to question authority and tradition as he wanted to raise questions about injustice, while using laughter as a way to bring attention to serious issues. His books remain highly praised hundreds of years later both for their entertainment value as well as their ability to make important points through comedic elements.
