If this is from a play, what play is it? OR who is Henderson and Clouds?
Sra
Any help at all would be appreciated! Thank you!
Henderson argues that the purpose of comedy at the festival of Dionysus is to give an outlet for those who disagree with the ideas of the mainstream, the powerful. Does Clouds support this argument or not? In other words, does Clouds "speak truth to power," as Henderson suggests the plays of the festival would have done? Show SPECIFICALLY where the play does this, or show SPECIFICALLY where it seems to support the powerful.

Clouds is the name of the play. It's Aristophanes Clouds. I'm not positive who Henderson is, but I think he's either the editor or translator?
