Aristophanes, often hailed as the Father of Comedy, is known for his eleven surviving plays that vividly portray ancient Athenian life. Born between 456 and 446 BC, he faced challenges as an adopted citizen of Athens. His sharp wit and ridicule made him a formidable figure, influencing contemporaries like Plato, who criticized him for his role in Socrates' trial. His works, including the infamous The Clouds and The Knights, reflect his engagement with political issues and personal rivalries, ultimately preserving the essence of Ancient Greek comedy for posterity.
