Zusammenfassung
The first teaching that Socrates offers to Strepsiades in his school, the Thinkery, in Aristophanes’ Clouds, is that the clouds are not moved by Zeus, but by a «whirpool of ether» (380). The old man interprets these words in the sense that Zeus does not longer exist and the god Whirpool (Δῖνος) has snatched power from him (380-381), as he teaches his son after (828) and the latter later reminds to him (1470-1476). In these passages and others, Strepsiades employs language very similar to that of Hesiod in the Theogony when he narrates the succession myth, which betrays his traditional mentality, in contrast with the innovative ideas and scientific expressions used by Socrates. This paper will attempt to identify the passages of Hesiod that are in the background and their exploitation by Aristophanes in order to characterize the old man and reveal his ineptitude.
