Death’s Jest-Book: 'There is some secret stirring in the world, A thought that seeks impatiently its word'' Thomas Lowell Beddoes
Step into an infinite world of stories
Lyric & Poetry
The play is notable for its absurd humour, its imaginative appeal for an end to the Peloponnesian War and for the author's spirited response to condemnations of his previous play, The Babylonians, by politicians such as Cleon, who had reviled it as a slander against the Athenian polis.
