Clouds : The Comic Portrait of Socrates – Aristophanes’ Satirical Play on Sophistry, Education, and Athenian Society

What if the greatest threat to society wasn’t ignorance—but cleverness without conscience?

Clouds by Aristophanes is a scathing comedic masterpiece that lampoons Socratic philosophy and the Athenian obsession with rhetorical trickery. This modern translation revives the wit, rhythm, and political punch of Aristophanes’ classic play, in which a debt-ridden father seeks to cheat his way to freedom by mastering the art of deceit—under the tutelage of a ridiculous, cloud-dwelling Socrates.

What you’ll discover inside:

• A satirical comedy skewering philosophy, education, and generational conflict

• A wildly irreverent portrait of Socrates and his absurd “Thinkery”

• A sharp critique of sophistry, relativism, and rhetorical manipulation

• A lively and accessible modern translation of Aristophanes’ classic

Join the riotous drama where logic tangles, thunder rumbles, and the line between wisdom and foolishness vanishes in the clouds.
