Origins and genres Satire can be traced back throughout history; wherever organized government, or social categories, has existed, so has satire. The oldest example that has survived till today is Aristophanes. In his time sat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
