In many works of film, literature, and theater that the world has seen, battles against gods are epic ordeals, perhaps involving colossal armies and mighty (often shirtless) heroes. This was not the case, however, within Aristophanes’ comedic play The Birds, where a relatively small amount of blood was spilt as Peisthetaerus (Pez for short) and the birds usurped power and authority from the gods, effectively replacing them. Near the end of the story, Pez meets face to face with a few of the gods
