Reading The Frogs and Other Plays (The Wasps and The Poet and the Women) | Alexandria
Read The Frogs and Other Plays (The Wasps and The Poet and the Women) by Aristophanes. Skewering political corruption and social hypocrisy, these raucous Greek comedies expose how power warps justice - a message that cuts deeper today than in 405 BCE. Through talking frogs and wasps, Aristophanes reveals democracy's fatal flaw: mob rule masquerading as wisdom. His genius? Making us laugh while forcing us to confront uncomfortable truths about human nature.
