Great poets elicit our surprise by making events happen that defy common opinion and expectation. Tragedy exists not only as a part of political life, but also as a part of the political whole. The perfection of tragedy also depends on how effective it is in connecting human life with the greater whole, that is, nature.

This book is the first release of "The Complete Works of Aristophanes" re-translated and newly launched by Professor Liu Xiaofeng. The complete collection includes 11 existing comedies by Aristophanes and is planned to be released within two to three years. Each book is published in a single line and is not large in length. The format is designed to be small in 32 pages, suitable for carrying around, turning classics from "big bricks" into "little cutes", and entering everyone's pockets from libraries, so that everyone can rub shoulders with classics and nourish their mind. Mammon is actually Aristophanes' last work. The story tells the story of an ordinary farmer who, for personal purposes, went to the sun god Apollo to ask what kind of lifestyle his son should choose, because he discovered that living a righteous life would make him poorer and poorer, while an unjust life would make him richer and richer. The oracle indicated that he should closely follow the first person he met outside the temple and take him home. The farmer followed the literal meaning of the oracle and took the first blind beggar he met back home, only to find that the beggar was the God of Wealth... At the end of the story, the God of Wealth who restored his eyesight did not make all the righteous people rich, but made all the poor rich. However, some poor people also lived a lazy life of doing nothing after they became rich, and social order and ethics have not been well improved. In short, although the farmer succeeds at the end of the script, it actually confirms the God of Wealth's point of view: it is difficult to have both wealth and justice; it also proves the warning of the God of Poverty in the story: poverty (or lack) is the driving force for creating social wealth.

"Cheese and Maggots" Ginzburg travels between the intricate trial files and elite culture and low-class culture, weaving a story with clever structure and charming narrative. Through the eyes of miller Domenico, we see not only the life and thought world of ordinary people, but also his whims, joys, sorrows, and determination to challenge authority. The magnificent picture of European popular culture in the 16th century and even the grand historical picture of Europe are also slowly unfolding.

He not only vividly described how these peasants became confused about their identity under the pressure of the church authority, and then classified themselves as wizards, but also restored the folk culture and the psychological world of peasants during this period.
