I wondered when I read that Aristophenes was the first Greek playwright, and therefore possibly the oldest playwright in recorded history, why I didn't read him in high school. A few pages into Lysistrata and I figured it out. I am always surprised that I am continuously surprised by finding innuendo (if you can call it that in Aristophonenes) in the classics.

 I enjoyed these for the most part and can see the comic talent in them. There were a few parts that made me laugh out loud. I wonder if I might like a more modern translation more. Birds was my favorite, then Lysistrata, Frogs, and maybe Wasps.
