In Charge

Aristophanes, Frogs 1083-1086 (Aeschylus speaking; tr. Jeffrey Henderson):
As a result, our community's
filled with assistant secretaries
and clownish monkeys of politicians
forever lying to the people.

κᾆτ᾿ ἐκ τούτων ἡ πόλις ἡμῶν
ὑπογραμματέων ἀνεμεστώθη
καὶ βωμολόχων δημοπιθήκων        1085
ἐξαπατώντων τὸν δῆμον ἀεί.
Frederick H.M. Blaydes ad loc.:
Alan H. Sommerstein ad loc.:
