Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a complex and multifaceted exploration of the themes of poverty, wealth, and social justice. The author situates their analysis within the historical and literary context of the political instability of ancient Greece, and the rising influence of a wealthy elite that excluded a vast majority of Athenians from any share in their prosperity. Drawing on a close reading of Aristophanes' "Plutus," the book illuminates the playwright's insightful critique of the social and economic inequalities of his time. Through a nuanced interpretation of the play's characters and plot, the author unpacks the ways in which money and material possessions corrupt individuals and institutions, warping their moral compasses and leading to widespread social decay. Ultimately, the book's exploration of these timeless themes sheds light on the enduring relevance of Aristophanes' work in the face of persistent social and economic disparities in the present day.
