Great Grandfather of Comedy, Author of the First Sex Joke(s), Destroyer and Upholder of Traditions
: A comic playwright or comedy-writer of ancient Athens and a poet of Old Attic Comedy. Eleven of his forty plays survive virtually complete. These provide the most valuable examples of a genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy and are used to define it, along with fragments from dozens of lost plays by Aristophanes and his contemporaries. (From: Wikipedia.org.)

Quote #1 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Learning and Philosophy
“Socrates: Come then, wrap yourself up, and having given your mind play with subtilty, revolve your affairs by little and little, rightly distinguishing and examining.
Strepsiades: Ah me, unhappy man!
Socrates: Keep quiet; and if you be puzzled in any one of your conceptions, leave it and go; and then set your mind in motion again, and lock it up.
Strepsiades: (in great glee). O dearest little Socrates!”
Source: "The Clouds," by Aristophanes, translated by William James Hickie, 419 BC.
