PREFACE FROM THE EDITOR

Webster’s paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in
English courses. By using a running English-to-Korean thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this
edition of The Clouds by Aristophanes was edited for three audiences. The first includes Korean-
speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign
Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or
TOEIC® preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in
bilingual education programs or Korean speakers enrolled in English speaking schools. The third
audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Korean in order to take
foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®)1 or similar examinations. By
using the Webster's Korean Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can
enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Korean or English.

Webster’s edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of
difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are
given lower priority compared to “difficult, yet commonly used” words. Rather than supply a single
translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Korean, allowing readers to
better grasp the ambiguity of English, and avoid them using the notes as a pure translation crutch.
Having the reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary
retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If
a difficult word is not translated on a page, chances are that it has been translated on a previous
page. A more complete glossary of translations is supplied at the end of the book; translations are
extracted from Webster’s Online Dictionary.

Definitions of remaining terms as well as translations can be found at www.websters-online-
dictionary.org. Please send suggestions to [email protected]

THE CLOUDS

SCENE—The interior of a sleeping-apartment: STREPSIADES,
PHIDIPPIDES, and two servants are in their beds; a small house is seen at a
distance. Time: midnight.%

STREPSIADES.
[sitting up in his bed]. Ah me! Ah me! O King Jupiter, of what a terrible
length the nights are! Will it never be day? And yet long since I heard the
cock. My domestics are snoring; but they would not have done so heretofore!
May you perish then, O war! For many reasons; because I may not even
punish my domestics. Neither does this excellent youth awake through the
night; but takes his ease, wrapped up in five blankets. Well, if it is the
fashion, let us snore wrapped up.
[Lies down, and then almost immediately starts up again.]
But I am not able, miserable man, to sleep, being tormented by my expenses,
and my stud of horses, and my debts, through this son of mine. He with his
long hair, is riding horses and driving curricles, and dreaming of horses;
while I am driven to distraction, as I see the moon bringing on the
twentieths; for the interest is running on. Boy! Light a lamp, and bring forth
my tablets, that I may take them and read to how many I am indebted, and
calculate the interest.

4 The Clouds
[Enter BOY with a light and tablets.]
Come, let me see; what do I owe? Twelve minae to Pasias. Why twelve minae
to Pasias? Why did I borrow them? When I bought the blood-horse. Ah me,
unhappy! Would that it had had its eye knocked out with a stone first!
PHIDIPPIDES.
[talking in his sleep] You are acting unfairly, Philo! Drive on your own
course.%
STREPSIADES.
This is the bane that has destroyed me; for even in his sleep he dreams about
horsemanship.
PHIDIPPIDES.
How many courses will the war-chariots run?
STREPSIADES.
Many courses do you drive me, your father. But what debt came upon me
after Pasias? Three minae to Amynias for a little chariot and pair of wheels.
PHIDIPPIDES.
Lead the horse home, after having given him a good rolling.
STREPSIADES.
O foolish youth, you have rolled me out of my possessions; since I have
been cast in suits, and others say that they will have surety given them for the
interest.
PHIDIPPIDES.
[awakening] Pray, father, why are you peevish, and toss about the whole
night?
STREPSIADES.
A bailiff out of the bedclothes is biting me.
PHIDIPPIDES.
Suffer me, good sir, to sleep a little.

STREPSIADES.
Then, do you sleep on; but know that all these debts will turn on your head.%
[PHIDIPPIDES falls asleep again.]
Alas! Would that the match-maker had perished miserably, who induced me to
marry your mother. For a country life used to be most agreeable to me, dirty,
untrimmed, reclining at random, abounding in bees, and sheep, and oil-cake.
Then I, a rustic, married a niece of Megacles, the son of Megacles, from the
city, haughty, luxurious, and Coesyrafied. When I married her, I lay with her
redolent of new wine, of the cheese-crate, and abundance of wool; but she, on
the contrary, of ointment, saffron, wanton-kisses, extravagance, gluttony,
and of Colias and Genetyllis. I will not indeed say that she was idle; but she
wove. And I used to show her this cloak by way of a pretext and say "Wife,
you weave at a great rate."
[SERVANT re-enters.]
SERVANT.
We have no oil in the lamp.
STREPSIADES.
Ah me! Why did you light the thirsty lamp? Come hither that you may
weep!
SERVANT.
For what, pray, shall I weep?
STREPSIADES.
Because you put in one of the thick wicks.
[SERVANT runs out]
After this, when this son was born to us, to me, forsooth, and to my excellent
wife, we squabbled then about the name: for she was for adding hippos to the
name, Xanthippus, or Charippus, or Callipides; but I was for giving him the
name of his grandfather, Phidonides. For a time therefore we disputed; and
then at length we agreed, and called him Phidippides. She used to take this
son and fondle him, saying, "When you, being grown up, shall drive your
