We like facts and reliable sources here. While sources like Quora/Reddit/Wikipedia can be great tools for quick searches, we do not allow such user-generated content as primary source. What’s wrong with Wikipedia?

Things like this are why I love Wikipedia
Been loving the phone app myself lately. Must have 30 tabs open right now. Very smooth with the bookmarking...
So much of Aeschylus is missing. He pretty much invented Greek tragedy.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeschylus
He wrote somewhere between 70 and 90 plays, of which only 7 survive.
Pretty much the same for Aristophenes, only now we're talking comedy instead of tragedy.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristophanes
11 surviving plays (Lysistrata is LEGIT!), 30 or so missing. :(
"Frying-Pan Men" ? I want to know that story...
