This is from Aristophanes' Frogs, written and performed as the plague ravaged citizens of Athens hunkered behind their walls with Spartans terrorizing the Attic countryside.

So to help, Dionysus goes to hell to bring back a good poet to cheer people up. Because imagine trying to get through 2020 without TV.

There's a great line describing Aeschylus' sentences as great galumphing things with adjectives hanging off them like monstrous shaggy eyebrows.

"These aren't the kinds of adjectives he used, mind you, this is just a tribute."

aristophanes, a man of culture

Actually, his name was Aristotle, and he was a philosopher, not a culturer

Does anyone know the context? Is the soup a metaphor?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

The soup is a metaphor for bringing back a poet from the dead. Pretty obvious, right?

For some reason Dionysus is being coy about what he wants - I'd guess either for some cultural reasons, or just as a premise to set up some jokes about being hungry and horny.

You know I have Dionysis we're at No Cans LaRouche's new place Soup's On.

I think soup was so popular because everyone had bad teeth and trouble digesting, especially as they got older.

But I'm just guessing

Not really, they had easy less processed sugars in they diet, so they had less dental decay.

But Heracles as a descendent of the gods had perfect teeth ofcourse
