Abstract
- The article discusses the ongoing financial crises of Greece as of August 2015 in relation to the annual performance of Ancient Greek dramas by Aristophanes. Topics addressed include accounts of the plays "Acharnians" and "Ecclesiazouses," running since July, discussion of how the themes in the plays resonate with Greek audiences undergoing economic hardship, and how the productions are making direct commentary on the political establishment of the nation.
