He was born c. 446BC in

Athens ,Greece and then lived in

 Kudathenaion which means that

known as today. Aristophanes specialty is Old Greek

comedy. He used good choice of words to make the audience

laugh and politicians took him to court once in a while because

he would criticize politicians. The punishment however must not have been to severe that he could still go on with his comedy.

His writings are also based on philosophical theories.

From the ages 17 to 23 he Aristophanes started to submit

It is said that Aristophanes wrote 40 plays and only 11 are

still performed today:

The Frogs, The Birds, The Clouds, Lysistrata, Plutus, The Wasps andThe Knights.

problems that were troubling

ancient Greece at the time. He 

would put words together that

made most people laugh

Well, he might not have made comedy

but he made it very popular. I think

that he inspired people to preform

comedy not just say it to a friend and

make them laugh

I think that it must of been hard to make people laugh with no movie quotes 

or anything. But because he preformed it he made it spread. One person would

view) would not be funny. Obliviously someone else would 

have preformed comedy later on if Aristophanes didn't make it popular

what if they didn't..........would we all just not laugh at each other. Although 

when TV's with sound came out and IT got popular(so basically everyone in the world had a TV) I think that they would have made jokes for movies and introduced comedy through movies

years after The Peloponnesian war when Sparta

and Athens fought , Aristophanes sadly died when

he lay peacefully in his bed.
