At the age of 15, Aristophanes became affiliated with numerous intellectual individuals in Athens and soon became a part of the circle affiliated with Perikles.[1]
In 431 BCE, Aristophanes was one of the individuals invited by the statesman Perikles to attend a symposium at his villa. He attended the party which included his fellow playwrights Euripides and Sophokles. Due to Aristophanes' comical style of writing, Sophokles was not happy that Euripides associated himself with him. A while later, Aristophanes and Euripides met the misthios Kassandra, who came to the symposium to seek information for her mother's whereabouts.[2] Kassandra served him and Euripides drinks in exchange for information from the latter.[3]
Around the same time, Aristophanes came into constant conflict with fellow playwright Hermippos, who was secretly a member of the Cult of Kosmos and openly voiced his support of Kleon, a rival of Perikles. While talking with Sokrates about Hermippos near the Akropolis Sanctuary, Aristophanes was approached by Kassandra, who questioned him about his conflict with Hermippos. Aristophanes requested Kassandra to look for Hermippos and investigate his affiliation with Kleon, and learned of his affiliation with the Cult.[4]
