The Clouds
April 27, 2007 – 3:21 pmby Aristophanes
(translated by Alan H. Sommerstein)
This was a rather liberal translation. The play is pretty crappy (pun intended). It was interesting to see that the introduction referred to 4 themes: atheism, scientific inquiry and speculation, rhetoric, and the new morality. Those 4 themes seem to be what each new generation hollers about against the old generation.
