"You have all the characteristics of a popular politician: a horrible voice, bad breeding, and a vulgar manner."
(The Knights)
"Under every stone lurks a politician." (Thesmophoriazusae)
"The wise learn many things from their enemies." (The Birds)
"High thoughts must have high language." (The Frogs)
"Evil events from evil causes spring."
"Shrines! Shrines! Surely you don't believe in the gods. What's your argument? Where's your proof?"
These are just a few examples of how humorous Aristophanes was and how he loved attacking politics and politicians. Theses
quotes are not unlike modern political satire. These quotes are timeless.
