About this book

Aristophanes’ “Wasps” is a classic Greek comedy that was first produced in 422 BCE at the Lenaia festival. The play is known for its satirical portrayal of the Athenian legal system and the demagogue Cleon. It features a chorus of old men who are described as wasps, symbolizing their stinging and persistent nature as jurors in the Athenian courts.
