Bol Partner An assessment of the power of argument and its effects as used within Aristophanes' play. This treatise attempts to provide insight into ancient Athenian thought and at the same time to examine the workings of a play which balances rhetoric with comedy. This is a thought-provoking reading of Aristophanes' Clouds. O'Regan's principle theme is the logos, or power of argument, and its effects; she also assesses the self awareness of the second Clouds as a comedy of logos directed towards a resistant audience. Within and without the play, the logos meets defeat when confronted with human nature. The argument conveys insight into Athenian thought and the play's workings, the more so because it balances rhetoric with comedy, reminds the reader that this is a comic logos, explored in the comic mode, and connected with the intentions and vicissitudes of the first and second Clouds.
