Book description
First produced in 5th-century BCE Athens, The Knights is a comedy satirizing the mindlessness of the democracy in general and the rule of the then-current political leader Creon in particular. Aristophanes had a history of run-ins with Cleon. Consequently he avoided mentioning Creon by name in this play, but the reference was so obvious that no actor would accept the part – so Aristophanes played it himself. Nicias and Demosthenes, two slaves of the elderly and easily led Demos (personifying the citizenry), try to convince him to dismiss Creon (the “Paphlagonian”) and replace him with Agoracritus, a sausage-seller. Repartee is sharp and incisive, and the pace of the play is brisk. Shouting matches filled with scurrilous insults abound, and the chorus of Knights provides commentary. The Parabasis, that part of Greek Old Comedy when the actors leave the stage in the play’s middle and the chorus addresses the audience directly and at length, is highly amusing and also clarifying. The text is filled with topical allusions, and an addition with footnotes will help the reader to understand the references.The play provides the reader a glimpse of Athenian political and social life during the years of the Peloponnesian War as well as an example of one literary genre prevalent at the time. The perceptive reader will be unable to avoid noting the parallels to our own time and situation, and he will probably be both entertained by them and made uncomfortable. Aristophanes would no doubt be pleased.
