"Clouds" is a famous comedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, which was first presented to the audience in 423 BC. In this play, the author sharply and satirically criticizes the philosophy and political views of his time, in particular, strongly insults Socrates. "Clouds" tells the story of the philosopher Socrates, who opens a school where students are taught fraud and deception, brainwashing them with words and pranks. Aristophanes with apt humor exposes the unfortunate influence of Socrates on society and shows the negative consequences of his actions. This comedy is a vivid example of ancient Greek literature, which not only entertains, but also makes the reader think about important moral questions.
