The Clouds
Aristophanes
The Clouds is a comedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes. It is perhaps the world's first extant "comedy of ideas" and lampoons intellectual fashions in classical Athens. In the play, Strepsiades, an elderly Athenian mired in debt, enrolls his son Pheidippides in Socrates' philosophy school so that he might learn the rhetorical skills necessary to defeat their creditors in court, although all he really learns is cynical disrespect for social mores and contempt for authority, which leads to Strepsiades burning the school down in disgust.
