The Clouds can be considered not only the world's first extant 'comedy of ideas' but also a brilliant and successful example of that genre. The play gained notoriety for its caricature of the philosopher Socrates ever since its mention in Plato's Apology as a factor contributing to the old man's trial and execution.

Excerpt from The Clouds: With Introduction and Notes
Aeschylus exhibits to us a mind deeply religious, and severely earnest - awed by the judicial power of the gods and reverently submissive to their binding laws. Sophocles, with a more genial spirit, can better appreciate the harmony of human freedom and divine ordinance. The triumph of moral order over self-will is with him rather a happy result than a crushing defeat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
