Aristophanes

Aristophanes was a talented and amazing man. He was born 448BC and then passed away on 385BC so this makes him 63 when he died. As we know Aristophanes wrote many of amazing plays but to this date only a portion of them survive today, on avarage 40 of his plays surived. Furtermore his work is the oldest form of comerdy. We also no the Aristophanes wrote most of his play when the civil war ( Two States in one country, Athens & Sparta). was taking place, he did this because the Civil War gave him somthing to write about and gave in ideas and things to write about. In the lesson we discuss when all his work took place and we did a time line, based all of his work, and during this we found out alot more about Aristophanes. The thing that inspires me the most is the fact he never gave up he has passion about what he wanted to do, he was a fighter! E.g he produced Banqueters ( this play is lost) and entered it into the City Dinoysia (Festival to celebrate the god Dinoysus) and he lost the competition. Then he comes back with the same play the year after, he taken a look at it a changed things and then come on to win 2nd prize. This shows how determind he is. Then  he kept coming back with play after play and wining 1st and 2nd prize, this was with every play he wrote.
