danjzs1: I used the example of Spock not letting the away crew bury the dead in “Galileo Seven” as an example of Stoics not making good rulers.
No respect for the sacred.
Although not like Aristophanes’s lack of respect… (he’d be a horrible crewman, like Dercylidas).

deanwbrandon: The Hegelochus lesson: More than 2,000 years ago, an actor in Greece botched a line in a play. In an inflection error, he said “weasel” when he meant to say “calm sea.”
As a result, he was mocked by Sannyrion and then Aristophanes and others.
He…

Nietzsche rejects this ,
The idea of not being a complete person Yourself but only with another person.

DiscoEleutherio: I enjoy Aristophanes's The Frogs because the interplay between Dionysus and Xanthias illustrates the intrinsic human understanding that the guy in charge is always a weak ass loser, and the real hero is the unfortunate who has to do all the work in their stead.

It's our GREEK COMEDY CHORUS SPECIAL! Your am-dram society, the Piraeus Players, are doing Aristophanes. You'll be a member of the eponymous chorus in one of these plays! Which one? Which role floats your boat? (NB: number 3 are wasp-like old jurors)

AntigoneJournal: When Gilbert Seldes’ Lysistrata (1930) reached LA, a dozen policemen stormed the stage, arresting 53 cast members. Sadly the LAPD was unable to locate “the depraved playwright” listed as a person of interest on the arrest warrant: one Arthur Aristophanes."

skydog811: “Look at the orators in our republics; as long as they are poor, both state and people can only praise their uprightness; but once they are fattened on the public funds, they conceive a hatred for justice, plan intrigues against the people and attack the democracy.”
Aristophanes

― Aristophanes, The Knights
skydog811: “You [demagogues] are like the fishers for eels; in still waters they catch nothing, but if they thoroughly stir up the slime, their fishing is good; in the same way it's only in troublous times that you line your pockets.”

AldenEzekiel: Ancient Greek art is so disconnected from reality. It shows them all clean-shaven and nekkid while irl they always fought in full armor, and called any beardless man an effeminate. Aristophanes is full of jokes calling Cleisthenes and Agathon women because they shaved
WalloMarto: For the record, I have no clue who this woman is. This is just the result for Aristophanes on Google. Presumably, she also goes by Aristophanes? But I’m uncultured
DSFCclassics: Today seems a good day to remember Aristophanes' account of the demagogue Paphlagonian/Cleon defending himself before the Boule of Athens. Apropo of nothing...
BobSaietta: some of us were organizing from the jump.
byzantinologue: Based on a reception play I wrote around Aristophanes’ The Birds, “After Utopia” is a film, performance, contemporary art, installation, archaeological intervention.
TrashRadio_: If that alleged pic of Aristophanes' Revenge really is him, it perfectly explains him and more than some culture war guys
The backbiting, lying, gossiping like a brothel of ladies with their periods synced up, bloviating macho posturing - it makes perfect sense with that face
TheLordGave: I imagine the ancient Greeks would be puzzled if Aristophanes suddenly addressed the Ekklesia.

I will be taking no questions at this time.
