Aristophanes' play The Clouds, which was written when the philosopher Socrates was in his mid-forties, portrays Socrates as an atheistic philosopher primarily concerned with issues in natural science  The only other surviving portrayals of Socrates were written after Socrates' death at age 70
They portrayed Socrates as having a religious dimension and a strong focus on ethical issues
Aristophanes' portrayal of Socrates in The Clouds was unflattering, whereas the other portrayals were very flattering.
