ARISTOPHANES
Playwright-comedy.(b. c455 BC). Of the 43 plays we know Aristophanes wrote, only 11 remain in their entirety. These plays are not for those easily shocked by the graphic por trayal of various parts of the male anatomy, or the sort of innuendo which would have had them rolling in the aisles back in the Golden Age and, for that matter, to this day. Aristophanes' plays are r egularly performed on stages all over the world. If you come across copies of old school texts, you will find that huge chunks have been lifted so as not to offend the eyes of the younger reader - and quite right too!
