The Birds ("As Aves" in Portuguese) is a comedy by the Ancient Greek playwrighter Aristophanes. It was first performed in 414 BC. The story follows Pisthetaerus, a middle-aged Athenian who persuades the world's birds to create a new city in the sky (thereby gaining control over all communications between men and gods), and is eventually miraculously transformed into a bird-like god figure himself, and replaces Zeus as the pre-eminent power in the cosmos. It has been acclaimed by modern critics as a perfectly realized fantasy remarkable for its mimicry of birds and for the gaiety of its songs.
