Making Athenian audiences laugh until they weep. Politics is just poorly written comedy.
Wrote one comedy and now Euripides acts personally attacked every time a chorus breathes.
And that is exactly why it sells out.
This is why philosophers stay indoors.
Because you keep putting my name onstage like a warning label.
Yet you still came to the theater and paid full price for my suffering.
It is a warning label. The audience deserves protection.
I wrote one play and suddenly Athens acts like I invented disrespect. Relax, I’m a comic, not a public service.
A basket was the most honest place for your ideas, actually.
And yet every audience leaves remembering my lines and forgetting your therapy with vowels.
This thread is proof Athens needed better education and a stronger block button.
You put me on stage in a basket and called it philosophy. That is not criticism, that is commitment issues.
At least he can be found in a basket. You keep killing people with speeches and calling it depth.
