Summary "Aristophane; Traduction nouvelle, tome second" by Aristophanes is a collection of plays, specifically the second volume containing the work "Les Oiseaux," probably written in the 5th century BC. The comedy revolves around Pisthétéros and Evelpidès, two disgruntled Athenian citizens who decide to create a utopian city in the sky, named Néphélocokkygia, in response to their dissatisfaction with life in Athens. Thematically, it critiques the socio-political dynamics of ancient Athens and explores the absurdity of human existence through the lens of avian characters and mythology. The opening of "Les Oiseaux" introduces the two protagonists, Pisthétéros and Evelpidès, who find themselves lost in a rugged wilderness while seeking the transformed bird, Tèreus. Frustrated, they bicker over their misfortune and lament their quest for a tranquil and fulfilling life. As they call upon the bird world for guidance, they encounter a myriad of feathered characters, including a Huppe, who becomes pivotal to their plans for establishing a new city. This initial segment sets the tone for a humorous and satirical exploration of ambition, social structure, and the natural world, signaling a blend of fantastical elements with critical commentary.
