Who’s to blame for the moral decline in public life? The power-hungry demagogue, or the people who, content with flattery and favours, will vote for anyone who “tickles their ears”? Are reprobate slaves the image of a corrupt master? Aristophanes’ provoking satire gets to the heart of democracy and highlights the need for constant vigilance in the running of a state. Stamatis Fasoulis and a celebrity cast promise a contemporary reading of The Knights (424 BC), Aristophanes’ dramatically contemporary political comedy.
