In one play, actors dressed as these objects say that the play cost the author “much trouble,” and that he regards it his best, in a parabasis (“pah-rah-BAY-sis”). The protagonist of that play is introduced to these “goddesses for the lazy” after his son goes into debt betting on horses. These objects form the chorus in a play in which the protagonist’s attempts to become a great orator lead him to be (*) beaten by his son. These inanimate objects partly name a location that Pisthetaerus (“piss-tuh-TAIR-uss”) builds with help from the hoopoe in The Birds. These objects title a play in which Strepsiades (“strep-SIGH-uh-deez”) enrolls in the Thinkery. Socrates appears in an Aristophanes (“ah-riss-TAH-fuh-neez”) play titled after, for 10 points, what objects, which in the name of an Aristophanes setting precedes “cuckoo land?” ■END■
