God of Fortune - Ploutos

Japanese: 福の神 - ふくのかみ(英語表記)Ploutos
God of Fortune - Ploutos
A Greek comedy by Aristophanes. It was performed in 388 BC. It is the last surviving work of Aristophanes. The spirit of the old comedy, full of free-spirited attack and criticism, has disappeared and it has fallen into vulgar humor, and the role of the chorus is almost nonexistent, marking the transition from old comedy to middle comedy.

God of Fortune

Also called "Fukujin," he is said to be a god who bestows happiness and benefits on people, like the Seven Lucky Gods, and has long been worshiped as a folk belief, with people worshiping him as a figurine.

ギリシアのアリストファネスの喜劇。前 388年上演。現存するアリストファネスの最後の作品。かつての自由奔放な攻撃と批判に満ちた古喜劇の精神が影をひそめて平俗な滑稽に堕し,合唱隊の役割も無に等しく,古喜劇から中喜劇への移行を示す。

福の神
ふくのかみ
