«La faula dels ocells grecs» is a short novel by Jordi Coca, published by Editorial Empúries in paperback (144 pages, in Catalan).
A very free narrative version of Aristophanes' comedy «Els ocells», performed in 414 BC. Two Athenian citizens, fed up with the politicking suffocating Athens, decide to build an ideal city with the birds; the enterprise demands a change of life and a struggle, until the intervention of the gods resolves everything.
It belongs to the L'Odissea collection, where it is number 96. It won the Premi Ramon Muntaner for youth literature in 1997.
Aimed at young readers, it also serves as a first approach to the Greek classics.
