Yes, now that the show is done, I can work on more Frederick and sing less patter songs.

So, you’re a shadow-enswathed force of evil presented with a plan by a long dead Greek mathematician that goes against every nefarious instinct in your body. What do you do? And how do you keep your mechanical minions from rhapsodizing over regular solids while you are working your way through the decision process? It’s things like this that separate the Dr. Dooms from the Razorbacks, and it’s all in Episode 78: Gee Overlord, What Are We Going to do Tonight?

I guess it all goes back to the age old question, “If you want to brutally rework the strings of time, and need to kidnap an ancient Greek to formulate your plan for you, which ancient Greek do you pick?”
A goody goody like Solon? A cunning realist like Pericles? A lovable kook like Parmenides? A clever psychologist like Aeschylus? A dick, like Euripides?
Nah, you go with Aristophanes. I don’t know what that evil plan would look like, but even if entirely unsuccessful, it would probably be pretty damn fun.
