The book "Birds" (Greek: Ορνιθες) is a comedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, written around 414 BC. In this play, the author satirizes the political and social life of the ancient Greek Athenian society through the adventures of the main characters, who decide to found their own city among the birds of the sky, where the bird gods themselves rule.
"Birds" is characterized by witty humor, sharp satirical interjections and lively dialogues that reflect the specifics of ancient comedy. This play is considered one of the most famous works of Aristophanes and a classic of ancient Greek literature, which still remains relevant in its views on power, corruption and universal human values.
