Context

Aristophanes was one of the Athenian playwrights of the ancient Greeks. If you've heard about him in school, it's probably along with his historical nickname of "The Father of Comedy." While he certainly wasn't the only comedic playwright of his civilization, he was one of the first notable ones we know of today. It is a bit odd that his quote in Brawlhalla lore has to do with something a bit more serious, instead of comedic, but even comedies often provide tremendous insights into a culture's history and mythology.
