Here is my autobiography. If you want to know why I think it is important to release it now, the reasons are compelling. People no longer have any idea what it was like to live in Athens in my time. To the extent people think about it all, they think of the literature, the philosophy, the architecture and the trappings of the democracy. They don't think about how we actually spent our time. This may explain why we have lost the capacity for reasoned debate, we can no longer tell truth from falsehood, we have trouble getting the rich to pay for public goods, and we discuss basic human urges with a strange combination of prurience and shame. Today's world has a lot to learn from mine. And besides, I am a comic and my life was funny. We seem to have forgotten how much fun life should be. Aristophanes.
