In The Wasps, the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes delivers a sharp and humorous critique of Athenian society, focusing on the jury system and the older generation’s obsession with power. The play centers on Philocleon ("Cleon-lover"), an elderly man addicted to serving as a juror—and thus indirectly supporting the corrupt politician Cleon—whom his son Bdelycleon tries to reform and keep at home. Much of the comedy arises from the absurd clash between father and son, including a farcical courtroom trial of a dog accused of theft. Through satire, slapstick, and biting social commentary, Aristophanes mocks the judicial system’s susceptibility to abuse, the gullibility of jurors, and the challenges of generational conflict. Combining humor with incisive political criticism, The Wasps remains a brilliant reflection on justice, civic duty, and the folly of blind loyalty.
