In this episode, we join Aristophanes in making fun of Cleon. This is a very political piece, so the discussion prompts come from an analysis focused on the politics. But, as always, I’m interested in what other thoughts you had.
Discussion Prompts
- What did you think of the Knights?
- How do you feel it to be relevant today?
- Is it too grounded in the politics of Athens during the Peloponnesian War to be performed today?
- How would you adapt it for a modern audience?
