THEATER ON ANCIENT GREEK STAGES
December 15, 2025 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
“The Birds” by Aristophanes (c. 414 BCE)
THE BIRDS, a comedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, was first performed in 414 BCE at the City Dionysia festival, where it won second prize. The story follows Pisthetaerus, a middle-aged Athenian who persuades the world’s birds to create a new city in the sky (thereby gaining control over all communications between men and gods), and is himself eventually miraculously transformed into a bird-like god figure himself, replacing Zeus as the pre-eminent power in the cosmos.
