Excerpt from The Clouds of Aristophanes: Edited, With Introduction and Notes

It seemed to him at once impious and immoral; and, above all, it represented a deep disloyalty to that glorious Athenian past, in the fore ground of which he seemed to see the men who had fought at Marathon as the only true type of national virtue.'
