What if the greatest threat to society wasn't ignorance—but cleverness without conscience?
Clouds by Aristophanes is a scathing comedic masterpiece that lampoons Socratic philosophy and the Athenian obsession with rhetorical trickery. This modern translation revives the wit, rhythm, and political punch of Aristophanes' classic play, in which a debt-ridden father seeks to cheat his way to freedom by mastering the art of deceit—under the tutelage of a ridiculous, cloud-dwelling Socrates.
What you'll discover inside:
Join the riotous drama where logic tangles, thunder rumbles, and the line between wisdom and foolishness vanishes in the clouds.
