Years: 393BCE - 382BCE

Aristophanes writes The Ecclesiazusae, a satire on communistic theories, around 391 BCE, in which the women of Athens take over the city and declare all property to be in common, to be distributed according to need.

In his comedy Plutus, produced in 388 BCE, private domestic and moral concerns replace larger social issues as the subject of comedy.

The plot hinges on the god of wealth, Plutus, being cured of his blindness.
