pickUnruly, chaotic, & irreverent, this comedy had me chuckling at points (my inner child lives on), shaking my head at points, & wanting to come to Socrates‘ defence most of the time. This a total skewering of Socrates & the intellectual trends of Athens at the time, but at its core it‘s just mad about the Socratic/philosophic turn toward desecrating the gods, which is a caricature of Socrates' ideas. Is this why Plato didn't want poets around? 😅

batsy @Graywacke Apparently yes! Though I've not read enough Plato but I read that he believed it played a part. (Also an indication that I probably should read Plato at some point!) 2y
