Education in ancient Greece

Dimitris Karantzas' production of Aristophanes' comedy "The Clouds," playing at the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus on Friday and Saturday, is the second to last show on the Greek Festival's ancient drama program at the 4th century BC theater.

When Aristophanes first presented "The Clouds" in 423 BC, his comedy was not welcomed with praise. Now, two millennia later, his play is considered one of the greatest examples of high comedy.
