THE CLOUDS OF ARISTOPHANES TRANSLATED BY WILLIAM JAMES HICKIE Aristophanes, the greatest of Attic comedians, and one of the great-est of all times, was born about 450 b. c. Very little is known of his life.He is supposed not to have been of pure Attic blood, and his father issaid to have been a property-holder of JEgina.. He had three sons—Philippus, Araros, and Nicostratos—who were all comic poets. Through-out his life Aristophanes championed the cause of the aristocratic ele-ment of Athenian society. He bitterly opposed, and in turn held up tothe highest ridicule, everything that savoured in the least of demagogismor popular sophistry. He began his career with The Banqueters, in427 b. C, and continued to produce popular plays until his death, about385 b. c. Of the fifty or more plays that he is said to have written, elevenhave been preserved : The Acharnians, The Knights, The Clouds,The Wasps, The Peace, The Birds, Lysistrata, The Thesmo-phoriazusae, The Frogs, The Ecclesiazusae
