    an ancient comedy that would take an entire paragraph of preamble to explain

    It shouldn’t need explaining, though.

    It’s basic common knowledge that anyone with the slightest interest in not being ignorant should have been familiar with by the time they finished general education.

    (You don’t need to have watched or read the play, mind, that might be out of your control depending on its availability in your context, but there’s no excuse for not knowing it exists and what it’s about.)
