Nacido en el 450 a.C., Aristófanes fue contemporáneo de Sófocles y Eurípides, asistiendo en el centro de su vida a la guerra del Peloponeso. Tachado tanto de reaccionario como de progresista, a los ojos del lector actual ofrece un claro testimonio de cuán rico, matizado y contradictorio podía llegar a ser el pensamiento de un ateniense culto en aquellos años turbulentos.

Cuatro de las principales comedias de Aristófanes, situadas en la Atenas del siglo V a. C. Guerra y paz, relaciones entre parejas, justicia y política, libertad y opresión: temas tratados de forma libre y desenfadada, seria y cómica a un tiempo.

Author Information
Aristophanes, 448 b.c. - 385 b.c. Aristophanes is considered to be one of the greatest comedic writers ever to have taken to the stage. He was born in Athens, Greece, in the town of Cydathenaeum. Aristophanes is believed to have been well educated, which would explain his propensity towards words. It is also believed that he owned land on the show more island of Aegina. Aristophanes was first a satirist, he was well known for attacking anything from politics to poets, mainly the war between Sparta and Athens and the poet Euripides. He wrote more than 40, eleven of which are still being acted today. "The Acharnians" was his first play, written in 425, B.C.. This was the first of his plays in reaction to the war, as well as the play "Peace." But perhaps Aristophanes most famous play, Lysistrata, made his true feelings of the war known. In this play, the women seek peace by claiming celibacy until the fighting is stopped. It is the play that he is most famous for, for capturing the feeling of the people in a way that was both lighthearted and poignant. Aristophanes died three years after the war ended, in 385, B.C.,but left behind a legacy that has lasted to the present day. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
