Orginally by Aristophanes

# data[].attributes.body
Aristophanes was Greek playwriter and comedian who started his career by entering in small, local competions. He was told to put a special touch on the original Greek comedy, Old comedy. Old comedy was a mixture of fantasy, satira (human foolishness) and obvious sexuality. His plays had a way with shrinking the self importance of people involved in politics, social life and literature.

Little is known about Aristophanes personal life, but he was obviously well educated and loved in the Greek society.

Its said that Aristophanes wrote 40 plays and of which only 11 have made it to the modern day including The Frogs, The Birds, The Clouds, Lysistrata, Plutus, The Wasps, and The Knights.
