Aristophanes
is a tedious cunt. Euripides, on the other hand, always put me in mind of a nasty little schoolyard bully. You know, the little rat boy that acts well hard but runs off screaming the minute you turn around to give him a slap.

Aeschylus tops Aristophanes, though. For God's sake, just don't.

I like Aristophanes.
My username is a reference to him.

The play we're studying is, by a weird coincidence, a massive bitchfight between Aeschylus and Euripides. EXCELLENT WORK

And what about Ray Wilkins getting sacked from Chelsea, eh?

Aeschylus would have Euripides
If only Aeschylus wasn't so ponderous.

Which play is it?
I actually quite like some of Euripides. Electra's a good one.

The Frogs
Dionysus decided to go down to the underworld to get a great tragedian back to make Athens great again. Lots about the Eleusian mysteries.

I'm more of a fan of Sophocles if I'm honest. I like his Electra. Fucking dark at the end, as it ends with a "happy ending".
Aeschylus can suck my cock.

Aristophanes
bores me. It's all about Cleon. Cleon, Cleon, Cleon.

I reckon he was a bit gay for Cleon.

Everyone was a bit gay for everyone.
