This play opens with a character describing a dream where a whale weighed ox-fat in front of an assembly of clothed sheep. That dream is recounted by Sosias, who, like Xanthias, is supposed to be awake, shortly before a man claims to be the ($) smoke of fig-wood, exiting a chimney. In one part of this play, two dogs fight over a cheese, while a cheese grater and a pestle silently look on. That fight ends when this play's protagonist is tricked by his son into selecting the urn of (*) acquittal. It opens with Bdelycleon guarding his house against the exit of his father, who suffers from a strange affliction. For ten points, name this play about the law court-addicted Philocleon, a work by Aristophanes.
