In 2026 CE, David Walsh built Phrontisterion—the library at Mona that draws its name from Aristophanes’ comedy. In the play, the ageing Athenian Strepsiades enrols at the Phrontisterion: a ‘thinkery’, or school, run by Socrates, and an altogether disreputable institution fit only ‘for wastrels and bums’; but where Strepsiades will nonetheless learn the art of rhetoric and thus escape his debts. The connection to Mona seems clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMona’s pocket-size bilingual edition includes the 1924 Greek\/English translation by Benjamin Bickery Rogers.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"data table additional-attributes\" id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccaption class=\"table-caption\"\u003e\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 41.6961%;\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 57.9505%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e978-1-7646819-0-2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 41.6961%;\"\u003eTitle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 57.9505%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eClouds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 41.6961%;\"\u003eAuthors \u0026amp; contributors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 57.9505%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAristophanes and David Walsh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 41.6961%;\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 57.9505%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMona\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 41.6961%;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 57.9505%;\"\u003eHard cover, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e165 x 105 mm, 144 pp\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"col label\" scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 41.6961%;\"\u003eCopyright\/Year\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"col data\" style=\"width: 57.9505%;\"\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mona Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47662161559714,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0249\/9621\/6877\/files\/MonaShop_Clouds_55457635327_cf258a9c1b_k.jpg?v=1789430227","url":"https:\/\/shop.mona.net.au\/products\/clouds","provider":"Mona Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
