Summary
These three comedies provoke searching reflections on the religious nature of humanity: What are the psychological sources of piety? What is longed for in and through piety? What would a god need to be, to truly provide what our humanity seeks from divinity? Aristophanes has been said to recreate the life of ancient Athens more convincingly than any other author.
