Considerado como el más grande poeta cómico griego de la época clásica, Aristófanes (ca. 445-ca. 386 a.C.) publica la mayor parte de su obra durante el largo periodo de la guerra del Peloponeso. Sus comedias -aparentemente fantasías verbales y burlas groseras destinadas a provocar la risa del pueblo que acudía a las fiestas- son, sin embargo, el testimonio de su actitud reflexiva ante los problemas de la sociedad de la época y la expresión de sus profundas convicciones de ciudadano. LAS NIBES, LISÍSTRATA Y DINERO - traducidas, prolongadas y anotadas por Elsa García Novo- ejemplifican tanto el compromiso directo de Aristófanes con la vida pública, como si genial capacidad para elevarse por encima de las circunstancias particulares de su tiempo.

Aristophanes (Greek: Αριστοφάνης; c. 446 BCE – c. 386 BCE) was a playwright of ancient Athens. About 11 of his works are known in full, and they are the only plays of the "Old Comedy" style to have survived. They are The Acharnians, The Birds, The Clouds, The Ecclesiazusae, The Frogs, The Knights, Peace, Plutus (Wealth), The Thesmophoriazusae, and The Wasps. These plays have been translated into many languages and continue to be staged or adapted for theatrical productions. Aristophanes satirized the political and social issues of 5th-century-BC Athens, such as the ongoing Peloponnesian War, the structure of the city-state, the role of women in public life, and the influence of philosophers (notably Socrates) in shaping public opinion.
