A review by littletaiko
Birds by Aristophanes

4.0

Read The Birds and The Frogs, two ancient Greek comedies by Aristophanes. Humor is definitely hard to carry over from one year to the next, much less thousands of years. However, overall I did find these to be somewhat funny, though I'm certain quite a bit went over my head. Fortunately, there were decent introductions to each play explaining what was happening and where some of the humor came from. The Birds resonated a bit more as involved a silly war and power struggles which are still happening today. The Frogs seemed to be poking fun at the gods and other Greek philosophers.
