420 BC THE CLOUDS by Aristophanes
Strepsiades: But by the earth! It is our father, Zeus, the Olympian, not a God?
Socrates: Zeus! What Zeus! Are you mad? There is no Zeus.
Strepsiades: What are you saying now? Who causes the rain to fall? Answer me that!
Socrates: Why, these, and I will prove it. Have you ever seen it raining without clouds? Let Zeus then cause rain with a clear sky and without their presence!

Question that needs answering!

It would be much appreciated if you could help me out :)
