Thank you SO much for sharing this! Thanks to your talk on the Greek philosophers, I was able to drop myself into the logic of the audience of the day. With that head set in mind... and visualizing myself sitting in the audience back in the day the play was first produced... I was doubled over in laughter. Of course, I get the art form because I've acted in Italian Renaissance Commedia dell'Arte, which is a similar form of stage satire that rips on the lawmakers and movers and shakers of the society. Your presentation is doubly entertaining if you take a look at our modern politics and society. The irony of winning an argument with a worse argument--often more loudly espoused--is still alive today in a mutated form. At any rate, you've inspired me to track down a copy and read it for myself. :-)
Zeus pissing through a sieve, LOL

It was Hadrian who revived beards (among Roman emperors). Beards and walls, that was his legacy.
Great lecture
