Great Grandfather of Comedy, Author of the First Sex Joke(s), Destroyer and Upholder of Traditions
: A comic playwright or comedy-writer of ancient Athens and a poet of Old Attic Comedy. Eleven of his forty plays survive virtually complete. These provide the most valuable examples of a genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy and are used to define it, along with fragments from dozens of lost plays by Aristophanes and his contemporaries. (From: Wikipedia.org.)

Quote #4 on Social Struggle Quotes >> Feminism and Oppression
“MAGISTRATE: If I should take orders from one who wears veils, may my
neck straightaway be deservedly wrung.LYSISTRATA: O if that keeps pestering you,
I've a veil here for your hair,
I'll fit you out in everything
As is only fair.”
