BATRACHOMYOMACHIA 

or Battle of the Frogs and Mice  

Written in the 4th century BC, Batrachomyomachia is a comic epic, a parody of the Iliad. The word Batrachomyomachia has itself become a term to describe a silly quarrel, like a storm in a teacup. Combining numerous puppet manipulation techniques, Batrachomyomachia is a tribute to the oral traditions of Greek comic drama
