1538 GREEK Comedies Aristophanes Ancient Theatre Athens Philosophy Divo Venice

“Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever.”

― Aristophanes

Aristophanes was an ancient Athenian Greek playwright, remembered for his comedy plays and examples of drama known as Old Comedy. Writing during the 4^th-century BC, Aristophanes was lesser-known than other Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle. Aristophanes’ plays were written for festivals in Athens and the Theatre of Dionysus.

This exceedingly rare 16^th-century edition was collected and edited by Andrea Divo, who was known for his important translations of Greek classical authors.
