In one play, a character goes to this man’s house and exasperates him by requesting a beggar’s outfit and some vegetables. (15[1])In a different play, this man pleads for someone to spy on his behalf on a gathering of (15[1])his own female characters. Because the “iron-clamped mace” in this man’s verse is lighter than the “two chariots (-5[1])and two corpses” in his alphabetically prior (15[1])opponent’s verse, a literal (*) scale in a third play tips in his opponent’s favor. (10[1]-5[1])One play invents this man’s fictional relative (10[1])Mnesilochus, with (10[1])whom he crashes the women-only Thesmophoria festival. (10[2])This author (-5[1])died a year (10[1])before (-5[1])the first performance (-5[1])of another author’s play in which Dionysus judges this man’s plays to be inferior to those (10[1])of Aeschylus. (10[3]-5[1])For 10 points, Aristophanes’ (-5[1])comedies like The Frogs lampoon (-5[1])what Greek (-5[1])tragedian (-5[1])of Medea? (10[3])■END■ (10[9])
