The next quiz will be considerably harder, trust me. No more easy questions from now on!

I had just found Cleon as the answer (which is also, tangentially, interesting since over the weekend I was reading a couple of books on Democracy in Athens and he gets mentioned along with some others).

That got me the Aristophanes. (If Manolis wants to make these things a bit harder, he could take one of the standard translations and then choose different words for the same sense.) Then the index to the Penguin Thucydides gave me not too many places in which to look.

But I promise that I make my philosophy students put more in their footnotes than “Google, on Tuesday”.
