Aristophanes the Athenian was born c.446 and died c. 386 BC), son of Philippus, of the deme Kydathenaion, one of the larger demes of Ancient Athens. It is significant that the butt of much of Aristophanes' satirical joking in his comedy was directed at Cleon, a politician and member of this very same deme. He was the comic playwright in Ancient Athens of Old Comedy par excellence. Indeed his work defines Old Comedy. Eleven of his forty plays have survived into modern times virtually complete. Several fragments from dozens of his lost plays have also survived.
He is often mentioned as being the father of science-fiction because the plots in his dramas take his audience to strange lands and highly imaginative situtations: CloudCuckooLand in Clouds and the Underworld or Hades in Frogs, He has the wasps in Wasps sting each other on stage in a lampoon against democracy.
Aristophanes is full of surprises for his audiences, for example one never knows whether his Chorus is for or against his principal antagonist until they have both come on stage. Are they going to side with him or mock him?
Aristophanes believed that Athens had become decadent and its population had been corrupted by the rhetoric of demagogues like Cleon. Its democracy was suffering from abuse. Large numbers of citizens were now receiving sums of money for attending trials as jurymen which had hugely large juries; these people were living off the state, which only encouraged, in Aristophanes' view, idleness. Athens was falling into lethargy. Aristophanes hated the new education that the sophists were bringing to Athens, of which the art of rhetoric was one. The population was being corrupted by cults: processions, drunken-ness, songs and dances. and the partying of banquets and feasts. Athens seemed to him to have lost its serious faith, proper devotion and dogmatic discussion.
Aristophanes directed his energies against what he saw that Athens had fallen into, the abuse of its democracy by demagogues, even if these latter were the people's own favorites and even against his own goal or desire to win the comedy drama competition. Aristophanes saw that aristocracy had a role or purpose in defeating the demagogues. Aristophanes loved Liberty, and hated demagogues, who he thought were a despotic clique of wretched intriguers oppressing Athens. Aristophanes wanted Athens to recover that priority of purpose it once had in former times. Aristophanes appealed to the Athenian sense that it once had in its days of yore, that is he was appealing to the ideas that inspired former generations which had brought greatness to Athens to make it the leading city-state in Greece. The men of Marathon were often appealed to, and also the great soldier that Aristophanes thought Aeschylus to have been.
Aristophanes thought Athens needed to see the truth in politics and morality a s he saw. Athens Aristophanes thought had lost its piety. Arsitophanes came from an Aristocratic family, and was deeply conservative. And because of this the Gods in his plays were fair game to mockery. Modesty was not part of Aristophanes' vocabulary. Aristophanes believed in Liberty, one led by the upper classes. The demagogues were only appealing to the base nature of the mob which would only lead to Ochlocracy.
