    Summary:

    Today, we tend to picture ancient Greece as a land of togas, lyres, and plenty of philosophical pondering—but even back then, people were annoyed with the likes of Socrates, Plato, and other intellectual blowhards. Brilliant playwright Aristophanes mercilessly skewers pretentious intellectuals in his comic masterwork The Clouds.
