The Frogs: Dialogue: ”Pluto!”

[DIONYSOS, spoken]
Pluto!

[PLUTO, spoken]
That's my name!

[DIONYSOS, spoken]
Pluto, oh god of the underworld, uncle on my father's side, I am Dionysos

[PLUTO, spoken]
Dionysos, Zeus's boy! Your mother was Semele, the daughter of Cadmus

[DIONYSOS, spoken]
Aw, you know the entire family!

[PLUTO, spoken]
So, what brings you to Hades?

[DIONYSOS, spoken]
I'd like to meet George Bernard Shaw

[PLUTO, spoken]
What a coincidence, he's right inside! He's banqueting with me. All the playwrights are here tonight: Chekov, Ibsen, Shakespeare...

[DIONYSOS, spoken]
(gasp) Shakespeare? What is he like?

[PLUTO, spoken]
Not at all what you'd expect. Uh...shorter

[DIONYSOS, spoken]
Hm. And Ibsen?

[PLUTO, spoken]
There's a strange one. You either love him, or you hate him. But, come on in, join us. See for yourself!

[DIONYSOS, spoken]
While we're eating, the Dionysians have something to tell all of you out there. This is called the parabasis of the play. I know, it's all Greek to me too
