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.)
