Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a satirical analysis of democracy in ancient Athens, through the lens of Aristophanes' play, "The Wasps." The play follows the story of an elderly Athenian citizen who becomes obsessed with jury duty, to the detriment of his family and personal life. Through this comedic narrative, the author explores the complexities of Athenian democracy, its strengths, and its vulnerabilities. The play is set during the Peloponnesian War, a time of great political and social upheaval in Athens. The war had strained the city's resources and led to a rise in demagoguery and corruption. In this context, the play's protagonist, Philocleon, represents the increasing tendency among Athenian citizens to seek personal gain and status through political participation. The author uses Philocleon's obsession with jury duty as a metaphor for the dangers of excessive democracy. Philocleon's addiction to the courtroom leads him to neglect his responsibilities to his family and his community. He becomes increasingly isolated and self-absorbed, sacrificing his personal well-being for the sake of his political pursuits. Through Philocleon's character, the author satirizes the tendency for democratic institutions to become dominated by self-interested individuals who prioritize their own agendas over the common good. The play also explores the ways in which demagogues and other populist leaders can manipulate the democratic process to their advantage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781390629569_0

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to Aristophanes' Acharnians, one of his first iconic plays. Operating as a political allegory, the play presents a comparison between rational peace-minded ideals against the warmongering ways prevalent in 5th century BC Athens. Acharnians meaningfully captures the complex socio-political dynamics of the Peloponnesian War, unveiling the devastating consequences of war. As such, the book appeals to a wide range of readers, particularly those interested in Greek history, literature, and political satire. Its exploration of the human condition and the struggle for peace brings the reader to engage in a thoughtful comparison between historical contexts and the pressing global challenges of today.
