==Ancient comedy==
The prominent Athenian statesman Alcibiades excited in his contemporaries a fear for the safety of the political order.〔D. Gribble, ''Alcibiades and Athens'', 41〕 Thereby, he has not been spared by ancient Greek comedy and stories attest to an epic confrontation between Alcibiades and Eupolis resembling that between Aristophanes and Cleon.〔D. Gribble, ''Alcibiades and Athens'', 32-33〕
Aristophanes mentions Alcibiades several times in his satirical plays, for instance making fun of his manner of speech and his lisp. According to Aristophanes the Athenian people "yearns for him, and hates him too, but wants him back".〔Aristophanes, ''Frogs'', (1425 )〕 Aeschylus in Aristophanes' Frogs illustrates Alcibiades' ambivalent personality saying:〔Aristophanes, ''Frogs'', (1432-1433 )〕
Aeschylus sees Alcibiades as a powerful creation arousing admiration, but also as a "savage figure" unacceptable and dangerous when released in the city.〔D. Gribble, ''Alcibiades and Athens'', 1〕
