Oh, I'll just try and bury my head and ignore the snoring. (Strepsiades tries to go back to sleep, he tosses and turns and then angrily throws off the covers i frustration.) It’s no good, [just can't sleep! 'm being bitten by debts and eaten away by stable bills. Why? Because of this iong-haired son of mine, 15 and all his riding events and chariot races. He lives, breathes and dreams horses! Is already the 20th day of the month, and the interest is due on the 30th. I'm finished! (He calls out to a slave.) Boy! light a lamp and fetch my ledger! 2% Ineed to count up my debts and calculate the interest, (A slave hurries from the stage right door with some tablets and a lamp. He hands the tablets to Strepsiades and holds the lamp so he can read the accounts.) Now then, let’s have a look at these debts: “Twelve hundred drachmas owed to Pasias.” Twelve hundred drachmas! What on earth was that for? Oh, gods, I remember now, a horse for Pheidippicles! ‘Twelve hundred drachmas? Ouch! I think I was the one taken for aride* (Pheidippides, dreaming of chariot races, mutters in his slep.) Pxewrrewes: 2 Philon, you cheat, keep to your own lane! SmeErsiaDss: ‘You hear that! That's the problem right there. He's constantly at the races, even in his sleep! 1: Long hait was considered a Spartan fashion and was worn by aspiring young aristocrats with antidemocratic sentiments (see Wasps 476). / PHEIDWPIDeS: Clouds n PrerpIPrmss: How many tums must the war chariots make? SSTREPSIADES: Enough to turn your father into a pauper! “What terrible debt shall strike after Pasias’ bills? » ‘Three hundred drachmas owed to Amynias for a running board and a new set of wheels!” PustDIPrIDEs: ‘Make sure my horse has a roll before he goes home! SmREPSLADES: It’s my money those damned horses are rolling in! While I am saddled with lawsuits and debis and my creditors can’t wait to seize my property. (Pheidippides wakes up.) What is it, father? Is it really necessary to spend the entire night twisting and writhing about? SmrerstaDes: Ym being bitten to death . .. by bed bailitis* PHEIDIPPIDES: Please, father. Lam trying to get some sleep! (Pheidippides settles down back to sleep.) SresrsiaDes: Go on then, sleep away, s00n enought all this will be yours. My debts will be on your head one day! Sleep away, my boy. (Oh, [wish had never met your mother, and Ihope whoever it was 31; Amynias was lampooned in comedy as an upper-class, long-haired, ‘ood for nothing (see Wasps line 74). 32s These lines are adapted from a lost Euripides play (fr. 1011) “What terri ble thing will strike the house?” “Gone © 2a11C 044) BoP uapIO8 v BunTwom syodorry oYp of uoIBseDoxd axp LT Bit jo 74817 yy JBa}OLEYD ayp HOM couTES opeuayREUTeE DYN UE AZONDIA Y “OL /seai0y ai axeds, oy Sumypoutos sues oueu ey, 99 {yin Jo os, sueour saprUOPIOYS 39 snddyyyg pour sea sowpey soueydoysy “soceep zoddn spuayay ayy wil aeqndod arom (,asi0y,) snddsy SumUTEIUOD sOUENY 69 Fe) 0} pe] axp apensiad dquo we 1 J] ‘ea Temjeuradne ‘Creunproenxe ue ‘asimoo apsexp avo punoy aaey | pue ‘ssour siya Jo mo aur 28 0} weyd v jrosu09 oy BuEAn YSN Te dn w29q 94,1 fuondumsuo> SundoqeS, so ase azaaas v ancy squnoo3e Ployasnoy ayy mou pue ‘asioy pap v Swn8$oy ayy sem Hy “pres | piom aj8uns & 0} peuay wo3y uMop 51208 aaup pur sae] smof any ysnl oq TLnok 31q at,nok uaym,, “WHY [91 PInom | Ing = 2902 wapjo8 mnsrineag & Surream Ay ayy yBnonp rope e aatp pue sapedayy foun af ues ypu v aq T1noK ‘dn mor no aya, ‘Kes pure suze ray uy uy aye] 0} pasn ays appt sea 94 LOYAL rddrproyg aurew oun wy anes pue asrusorduoo v paypeas am AqpenquaAa woth} ‘Be 10) andre aM ureu 47114 pauoTysey-plo pos & ‘eespuresd sry roye soprropreyg umy awe o} paqrem [yng saprddyye),, Aqeao] & Bucream ‘supeyunow a “ksx0y pur seujssaddn Sungouos payuem ayg fog ayy 10] aumeu e uo seade 20% pnoo y pue ayim ayy, “ueBaq ATfeas sayqnon Aux wou pue “uos ¥ pey 224 ySnoUD w0Os aA “S94 YO ZI Sem Arey (Caoop 38: 28048 oye uSnouya syixo Rogasnoy 24.1) iyos sep you ann e parsesur nod asnesag ssaavisantig a spnoqy, 6est oun) spag «sdsnyy 20g 28e plo ur ssomoud renxes 30 3pe],sopeisdany 1a Burppou gapisq ¥ pure JPtI9y JO JO[O> MOTTEA wapIOS euoHEPeN ayp sve UONTES “76 ova atom SepeqHTY puP sepprg WPog “UEP preoosewls AV speoiene yuourord 94} jo auteu uounuoy ® seak sojseSayy “Op ALpinoys Au kORSNOF] ‘axoy amo Buneag 8 pourea aa nox cesnoy oup uy dues sonjsing ap asn nox prp dup, SEQVISIRUS dune] oxy ur y9q 10 ou sarou, xowasnoH, 1b pranas 07 umo8. sopmsdossg 2uR MoYs UMOS Au dn prow oF pe eu pUIOd xp 0} 308 ay ipeann 2eYa snowy nod jy ‘anran ©} mow mawy ays ‘ye Ie Ou Azer 694s yey Aes a,ueD J "NOK PUI 801g azaysaAraaa pur 3240 pe aNpanydy -Canxmy pue soweSeaenxe ‘s20sp{ Axo ‘uosyyes uapjo8 “oumpiod auy Jo parfauis aug ym wu pu Sy ade ayy ‘Aammay pure Ysa BuN||aUas 'P2q 01 ju29 | “ayia pue teu se zexpa8O3 pautol aram am uayn PUY Ape} anit redosd y ‘seo ayearjap pue powyar asoyp ye pey pul Ayp ap tnoyy sem ays mnq ‘hog &zrumo9 uresd v ysn{ sem SoPeIIWY JO UOs 'sappeBapy Jo ananu ayp parzIeUa y wOY) [RO 2amo yo sBumysey ‘daays ABReys “s90q AouoY ym Supunioge ‘envoy waneysun ‘payseaim uy “samseaid Azpunod Atenoy ® ’sKep ‘ayy ay0d 0} paaoy ays no: ‘o-yy “weaus sounydossy a s ‘aneays og pur ‘Arjaaas “ous Jo po8 ayy sem sn xpung woxesi0ypo8 yey) ‘uesUE NOK oY mow TERA ‘sigloanala “oyu ayg yo siaydosoyd auy pur ‘ann pue poo8, ‘raaurapue’ je are Aauy yng ‘souTeU stat] MOUy | ANNs JOU ULL ‘saQvISHTAS ardoad osoyp are ouya, ssuaNeataraid SSuozm 20 1ySyx ‘9800 Aue ane Ayinyssa09N8 0} MOH, nod year tpn Katy weurapuad asap 2a [FEUIS E 105 ’0z0U § AEN | SpIsur Suypsaul ye09 jou ayp axe 944 UE fen sraao3 784) Ystp sporasse st asraaTuM au Ie Suynarqag ona sn 3fe1 01 {qe are axoKp aq] OU WOUE AN: s -umuoyseptiog auf ‘s{nos x9A3/9 Jo asnoy axp st ‘og Au EU, SaCVISESSIS gxaupey “aur Sumous nos axe ye HE 398 1 ssualaaiarsig gasnoy apay Atnmy yeyp pue Aeszoop Sun weyp 998 NOK WED “(soap yoy ays a 0} Sut0d 24) ax—YQ 2N0 YOOT MON 22D ‘SHQVISERUS, jsnshuorcy Aq ‘1 op yi (partuadserg) squalid pop NOK TM, “SIQVISSRIG 0 eye ures seaieataiaeg vureay pue 08 pur ‘es Tey OP ‘mou Su ‘pumaze apr mod wang, SIOVISIRS es epnoy9 2 (s0s1ou 30 poo ¢8,) sasioy Jo rexpey pue iayeuspreR, “eas omy Jo pod ‘euarpy aye suaypy Jo Aap waned pucoas aip sem UopIaso 9 gop oy au ayy nok pmo ey ‘saat fel 2482 1 72ya Op nos q94 ‘au ano] Ae!

They'll all come in supplication, seeking your sage advice. You'll help them to decide vitally important, and extravagantly expensive issues, issues suited to such an intellect as yours. Now to enroll this old man in our educational program; itis time to stimulate his mind and test his knowledge Socrares: So, tell me a little about yourself. Ineed to understand your particular personality traits. ‘Then I can conectly determine the best tactics to deploy. ‘STREPSIADES: ‘Tactics? Are you planning to lay siege to me? Socrates: No, no, I just want to analyze you alittle. Now then, are you in possession of a powerful memory? StRERSIADESS Well, that all depends. If someone owes me money, it is quite superb, but if, on the other hand, I owe money, then I'm afraid it has a tendency to let me down. SOCRATES: ‘Then perhaps you have a particular penchant for oral recitation? StRersiaDes: (Laughing) Me? I'm certainly reticent to pay my debts! Soceares: Look, how on earth do you expect to learn anything? ‘Sreeestapes: ‘Oh, don’t be such a worrier, Ill get the hang of it. ‘SOCRATES: Allright then, make sure that whenever I throw out some juicy bits Clouds a of heavenly wisdom that you snatch them up right away. oo SrRErsiaDes: {Laughing) What do you take me for, a dog? Socrarés: You utter, uneducated barbarian oaf! We may well have to beat some sense into this old fool | ‘Fell me, what would you do if someone were to hit you? STREPSIADES: Y'd fall over! And I’d stay down too, at least until a witness - #8 came along. Then I'd go and file assault charges and get a hefty out-of-court settlement or some nice damages! SOCRATES: ‘Remove your outer garment. ‘SmmersiaDEs: ‘What for, am Lin trouble already? Soceares: No, all new initiates must disrobe. | SteePstaves: But, [ promise I won't steal anything inside. SocraTES: Just take the damn thing off, will you! so (Strepsiades takes off his tunic and gives it to Socrates, leaving him naked except for a loincloth.) ‘STREPSIADES! If L work really hard and attend to my studies, which of your followers can I ever hope to be like? 499: Under Athenian lavr a citizen could search the house of a suspected thief. However, the person had to first remove his cloak to prove that he was _ not attempting to plant any incriminating evidence. 0s ss 2 Aristophanes Socrares: ‘You should try to be like Chaerephon. Srasrsiapes Good gods no, Ibe as good as deadt Socrates: Will you please stop jabbering away. Get a move on and follow me! SrmepsiaDes: All right, all right, but at least put a honey cake in my hand, Tm scared, it’s like descending into Trophonius’ grotto. SocRATES: Stop dilly-dallying at the door and come on! (Enter Socrates and Strepsiades into the Pondertorium through the stage left dor.) Cronus: Good luck to this brave soul Embarking on his quest, Though he's od and gray Texow he'll do his best. A dyed-in-the 000! spirit Dipping into new ideas, Such a radical education Fora man of advanced years. [Parabasis} (The chorus leader addresses the audience, speaking for Aristophanes.) 508: A legendary master builder who had an oracle near Lebadea in Boeo- tia, Visitors performed various initiation rites before descenciing into a mys- terlous subterranean passage armed with a honey cake to placate the ser- pents who were said to guard the cave (*808 Trophonius). “Clouis 6 Guores: Dear audience, allow me to speak candidly for a moment. ‘t's time to hear the truth, sworn by Dionysus, the very deity that nurtured my rare talent and raised me to win great dramatic victories. I thought that you were an intelligent audience, I thought that you would truly enjoy this, the most intellectual of all my comedies. Isweated night and day over a hot script to serve up to you the very first taste of the fruits of my labor. But look what happened Iwas utterly defeated, thwarted by those other vile, despicable hacks! ‘And it is you people who must bear the blame for this disgrace, foc you should: have known better. I did it all for you, and just Took how you chose © torepay me! But never fear, I will always be here for those with the good taste tofully appreciate the quality of my work. It was here, inthis very theatre, "that my tale of the righteous boy and the little bugger was so very ‘well received. It is true that I was not yet of an age to mother properly such a child, and 50 | exposed my prodigy to be adopted by another in my stead. Then you, dear ‘audience, you all became its foster parents, it was you who nurtured it, you raised it Eversince then Ihave held you all inthe highest esteem, and [always swore by your sound judgment and prudent wisdors. And now like Electra, ‘his comedy comes searching, hoping, seeking an audience equal in wit and intelligence, |525: This text of Clouds seems to have been revised. The original production | placed third at the festival of Dionysus in 421. 130: Probably Bangueters (427), Aristophanes’ first play, which placed sec- ond. 555: Electra was the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, @ famous figure in both myth and drama. Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides all produced plays about Electra longing for the return of her brother, Orestes. 0 50 25 0 ss 0 4 Aristophanes and like the hair on Orestes’ head, she'll know them when she | sees them! Contemplate for a moment, if you will, the value of her discreet sensibilities. She cioes not dangle one of those huge, red-tipped appendages between her legs to get cheap laughs from the children among you.* She doesn’t make rude jibes at the expense of bald men, and she categorically refuses" to perform any kind of suggestive dances. You will never see her | leading actor dressed up as an old man, running around, hitting all and sundry with a stick to divert your attention from the poor quality of the rotten old jokes! What's more you will certainly not encounter anybody charging onstage with flaming torches, shouting Oh! Oh! No, this play comes here today trusting only in itself and its poetry, and 1, the playwright, am cast from the same mold. I have always been bold (bold, not bald—I know I'm bald!), and I have never ever attempted to bamboozle you by rehashing the same tired old material time and time again. No, Idevote every strain of my poetic fiber to the invention of brand new, cutting-edge comedy. Bvery play has something different, something innovative, vivacious, and skillful. When Cleon was at the peak of his powers, I slugged him in the stomach, but I never hit the man when he was down. But just look at my rivals and how they treated Hyperbolus, they walked all over him, not to mention the punishment they. 537: Ozestes proved his identity to Electra with a lock of hair in Aeschylus! The Libation Bearers (Kines 229-30). ‘550: For the politician Cleon see Wasps "39 Cleon. 552: Hyperbolus became prominent in Athenian public life after the death (of Cleon in 422. Clowis 45 dealt out to his poor old mother! It all started with Eupolis and that dreadful farce of his, Maricas, biatant plagiarism! A disgusting imitation of my Knights with the totally ‘urnecessary addition of an inebriated old hag crudely gyrating in the dances.* “The very same character, might add, that we saw Phrynichus present in his comedy about the women being fed to the sea creature! ‘Then came Hermippus, and his vicious attacks on Hyperbolus. Scon everyone jumped on the Hyperbolus band wagon and were happily dishing out the dirt, and worst of all stealing all my best eel gags! If you find that kind of drivel amusing, you will never fully appreciate my work, but those who enjoy my comedic innovations will be considered ‘wise in years to come. Zeus the highest god of all, Greatest ruler, hear our call Come, Poseidion, with trident flashing, From: salty depths with breakers crashing. The sky father that witnessed our birth Mast sacred nurturer of life om earth. ‘The charioteer who fills our days, With the light, heat, and brilliant rays. £553; Eupolis was one of the most highly regarded Athenian comic poet. ‘His work survives only in fragments, but he is knovn to have produced his ‘rst play in 429 and won at least seven victories. Hyperbolus’ mother ap- ppearad in his Maricas of 421 557: A comic dramatist and contemporary of Aristophanes. Evidently he had produced a comic farce based on the Andromeda myth, '558: The comic dramatist Hermippus had produced a play called Bend Sell- ‘7s which featured Hyperbolus and his mother 560: In Knights (lines 864~67) Avistophanes said Cleon’s politics were like & fisherman stirring up the mud to get the eels to bite. 571: This is Helios, the sun god, who drives his chariot from the east to the wes, bringing light ss s sistep jwansay anp _yawp jo yno payeayp uaag aaey OU spo8 Aadue wosy syureyduzo> snoraurmu paaraoar sey ays pue ‘repuoye> aug Wye soavy amnjosqe Surderd st my shes ays “apoAo x0un je wt paseaydsrp sour st 2ys 7eyp ‘yp ia mnoge Buyppy §5n peuazofuy os[e ays js9p3s9q ax0UL JO] e Pue NOX J0p7eM} SOP 2YS _iutuq pure aor jour oxy “PE At “WYBRUO} dure axp yim zay0q 1,04, ‘sKogasnoy NOK Bua NOs prEDY §,24S Jo paeu aug Tre 20) yyuout v eunpesp © yse2j 18 nok ‘auop sey ays sBumn [mysapuoMm aa 1s 194 parwan aaey nok ou aney nod sau ‘snofol po puns “rudiac fo spenyooeg 24, “a8 yosoy aud sry aengn Bunnag “syySiay Sunsamoy nssmun wos “pjo-a8o ssaqy Say “08 fo asnoy smof 2a%—) ‘m9 atuoo pun sypox ,snysihc 20097 “sopac] fo paoy ‘onody enqaoye “emo, “Ayp ano o yyauraq year Aran aug 0} ‘asoen sBump Kem ax 9G ‘asoyaq se ag Tea SurypAr9Ad ‘uoHBayes nO au0> []eys Aos snoraazd ox Jo mo “Ployaq pue oF dn wry y90] pue ‘sspoIs ax uF wR dep jwaayzzaquia pue pneyy Jo sefieyp uo uoaiy jouueS YA IIPUT pue peaye o8 ysnf ‘a8enmeape 100K 01 yuaus8pn{ jo 1019 [quzza1 snp wan 0} uORNIOs apduurs v s aza4p 205 a spnor | eanpaqios moX youd 0} au si 2g sepipaonys) you mnao0 asdyppe ue ue ‘pep Azensqaa pumore sjexoua8 to} ax Jo ato se paiDoy9 sem ODI :985 “Aaoxpe; Supe paumo aary Keur Arnaney 5 uoot) ‘snfimny wy posn se uot) 20} auueuons ssueydoserey :zeg ‘spo8 aup Jo amnseaqdsrp ayp 04 apioa Sutai8 se pamora Aye -uompen ose sea repunizy “urex 0} onp pofeoued 9q pinoo Aqquresse sip 30 na © TEMP (GL-OLT SUH) SHIREY saUEYdorSIZY WOH SUES 31:78 89g 2p 10s MO MY SuUBATOAe aEUE spo8 aip ssoyauios £ pue “Kyo smyy uy ayes mr suorsmap peg yey pres wag se jeu ayy 107 pajoa pur peop mwaM [RS NOK FunpAzaaa yo ands ut mq perouas se w091> ny] Apuanay sx aypurjar ou pom ay ep paounowne pare sora reai8 siy paymus Ay aup urs Aon avg pure ‘2sin09 r8y {spasranar uooUl ayy wag , repunyy paIoY Jo sysmq YoNs ‘am Jo says YINS,, pareurwou nod jyuassrp mo parpunuy pue ump peumoxy am ‘Tamme, wewoSeTyded pammep TER asoup pur jeraua® Jo} suopoaye Burpjoy ax9Mm NOA uayM “UfeA Jo says puds PU A aaey Apueisuos am pue quaserd-rasa are oy souo ay are aM padsar songs ax ‘en ed 0} prey nod 3a4 pure ‘ama ueyy A119 sry 0 axow sear’ AuTap ON 40 nod asysey> 01 aroyy are am pue “aorarassrp reat ® sn paurzo}red aary nox aousrpne “asvayd uonuany nv 249 Ssouppe spmOy 241) jeounp smo mol 07119 NOR [p09 294 “aouvap somod soau8 “poyout pun po8 OL (201 a ss oy ROA iMoA TEP YO “SALVIDOS esead payeonpaun ayes oy und e sayew syrenb moy smowj auodzaaa ‘osuasuou OU S,A1 SHQVISARNIS jpsuasuow zayn yons Buniqgeg dovs nod TM, ‘San ED0§ ‘uneaq awos soe wud ayy rum vag royrenb-moy ap 10 yeaq sayzenb-2np am Buqseayd Aqqe3 azour st amseaur ysrys roprsue> ‘MON “Axja0d pue ‘uoJSsnOstp Ht of aBeSua 0} Sundwnayye wz porpr nod ‘sayeos Jo puyy B80 ION, :SEIVDOg os jsamseaur om) [IRY e JO 1nO 9 PETPPIS pueyprour wnes8 preyseq yeu Avp s9yp0 ayy ATO {S915 SHQVISERLIS, asoqeog zunpdepy exOOWY {91099 uAKay O} Ayumgzoddo ayy ey soaau nok mom nok sdeurod edozanap 0} {ysim nof op sparraruy mox Jo 39009 YORUM “POTS 398 £,79] ‘POOD "SB1VAD05 spafgns v syseut 0} A) saavisans 9 “Aqqnyaxeo w94sH] Pur azo J9A0 UMOP INT 's4¥aD03° mo six uo no yfeea pue dn 328 ue Simp ParSozUT-2apf ALA PIAL ON ‘saavisuntsg (yo0foeeg mow 5524 ‘saan.90g 2427 ‘yonoa jus » Susu oop yoy a8mys ayy woaf ‘payouruas ji9s ‘sapeysdasis 49103) o semen ‘ ‘emuoytody jo souaforq pur snn}>es9H1 ‘yo Aq paypanur ayy ypis parsauuoa sem upeaiq BuIMeIp JO 198 BYL -ZZ9 njoqred joc 18 sreur passes punos gquokoRydury ap UO Panias ia9UEquIGUIAL Y :urerquioures sn018t pais9ye m6 “snyoquadiyy Ayer s1 3841, InyoesBeIP—KP aug Joao ye jnoge BuyZoAe pue Supqunp ‘suoneqy, Supmod azom 101 nok army uopadses 10 uomUTayA| 01 adxazes [epioureur muajos ur Supjeized arom spo au ayo sown us9q WaAd 2AEY ATUL *punore Suo8 are nok skep 2 soueydoysuy sr ee pute sjeanisay passes Auer yo ued o5te apeay-teayy 129.) wd Huyjos e ay; pas im Key Suypeau ayiysinan v sev sndopuso Y 699 ang poo} deoyp 2 sem sea goip opeod a8 & suay ayn pte $900 243 to 0} Pasn S¥m UoMAzyA|O PIOM EOI) SUL +799 syeo Kayseq wpra zapeaun(-qeeur mn0S | Sunux29] jo ard ayBur Prnous | SSHQVISARUS, jssouaypryp pur *- waxTY SSEL¥I1D05, oe “upies aneu y poys 3ey “TOM AUBH ar NOX ‘uoprEsog AG ssdQVISUaLis LABIPAP, PUB ,YaYINP,, PIES NOX ‘SaLVAD0$ ameaur nok op UM ‘SdavISERAIS eM Op 3;e9 NOX, “uaspnpp sjeuray ayy pure apeur auy log PaTTe NOY ieyy ssaLve0g uaspnp “pula ‘Moo 08 Kunze “oat ‘S1QVISETEIS goupmuny amp uy!
