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 Social Struggle Quotes >> Feminism and Oppression
“WOMEN: Let us lay down the pitchers, so our bodies will be free,
In case these lumping fellows try to cause some injury.MEN: O hit them hard and hit again and hit until they run away,
And perhaps they'll learn, like Bupalus, not to have too much to say.WOMEN: Come on, then--do it! I won't budge, but like a dog I'll bite
At every little scrap of meat that dangles in my sight.”
