Aristophanes is inconsolable--his rival playwrights are hogging all the local attention, a pesky young wannabe poet won't leave him alone, his actors can't remember their lines, and his own festival sponsor seems to be conspiring against him, withholding direly needed funds for set design and, most importantly, giant phallus props.

And why does everyone in the city-state seem to be losing their minds? Wallowing in one...
