**Frogs** - a comedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, which tells about the adventures of the gods Dionysus and Hermes, who decide to descend into hell in order to restore the art of tragedy on the Athenian stages. In Hell, the gods encounter a variety of famous dead poets and discuss the future of the literary world. "Frogs" is not only a deep satire on Athenian society and the literary sphere of that time, but also reflections on the importance of art and the role of the poet in society. Written in 405 BC, this comedy remains relevant today thanks to its subtle humorous irony and deep philosophical undertones.
