One character in this play gets his name as a compromise between his town mother and country father, and is obsessed with horses and racing. Another character learns that a female fowl must be referred to as a "fowlette" before being attacked by bedbugs while pondering. The title characters are first seen as women, and are tossed about by Vortex, who has ousted Zeus. After one character beats his father, he uses the Logics he has learned to justify himself. Because he is too old to learn the tricks of debt evasion, Strepsiades sends his son Pheidippides to the Thinkery in this play. FTP, name this Aristophanes play concerning Socrates and the Sophists and some puffy title objects.          |
