«Los caballeros» is the Greek comedy by Aristophanes published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (89 pages, in Spanish).
The play satirizes the political and social life of classical Athens during the Peloponnesian War. The main target of the comedy is Cleon, a populist demagogue in favor of war; this attack on a single figure justifies an unusually small cast for Aristophanes. Deceptions and sharp dialogues call Athenian democracy into question.
Edition with a theatrical adaptation by Luis Gil Fernández, translated from Greek, published in 1996. The original work was awarded a prize at the Lenaea festival. ISBN 9788478822263.
A work of interest for readers of classical theater and Greek comedy, as well as for those studying classical Athens.
Aristophanes was an Ancient Greek comic playwright from Athens. He wrote forty plays, of which eleven survive virtually complete. The majority of his surviving plays belong to the genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy and are considered its most valuable examples. Aristophanes's plays were performed at the religious festivals of Athens, mostly the City Dionysia and the Lenaia, and several of them won the first prize in their respective competitions.
