What reading level is Aristophanes And the War Party book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" In this quart pot ! " is the answer. There is mention of some soldier ordering a yoke of plough- oxen to be killed because he wanted beef. To make the insult to the Athenian Govern- ment greater, the play was produced at the Great Dionysia, in the summer, when visitors from the Ionian cities were present in large numbers in Athens. One can imagine their passionate delight at finding such a champion. It was a little too much. Cleon brought a series of prosecutions against the poet, who remarks... in a subsequent play (Acharnians 377 ff. ) : And how Cleon made me pay I've not forgotten for my last year's play! Dragged me before the Council, brought his spies To slander me, gargled his throat with lies, Niagaraed me and slooshed me, till almost With so much sewage I gave up the ghost ! His spirit was not quenched, however. His next play, the Acharnians, was a definite plea for Peace, and his next, the Knights, a perfectly exuberant and uncompromising attack on Cleon, now at the very height of his power.
