Aristophanes was right. The world is an oven and we're just charcoals.

Aristophanes Headcanon

It was actually Strepsiades himself and not his wife who made Pheidippides obsessed with horse-racing. He just lies to the audience.

Aristophanes' "Clouds"

Strepsiades: Tell me, what's happened to them (if in fact they are truly clouds), that they are like mortal women? For those in the sky are not such as these.

Socrates: Well, what sorts of things are those?

Strepsiades: I don't plainly know. Anyway, they're like spread-out wool, not women, by Zeus, not at all. These have noses.

By now you must see them, unless your eyes are oozing pumpkins.

I smelling of new wine, fig crates, wool, abundance, she in turn of perfume, saffron, kisses with the tongue, expenses, gluttony, Colias, Genetyllis.
