Lysistrata

ARISTOPHANES (446 - 389 BCE)

Lysistrata read by the Classics Drama Company at DePaul.

One woman, Lysistrata, brings together the women of all Greece, exhorting them to withhold sexual contact from all men in order that they negotiate a treaty. Double entendres abound as men of Greece attempt to keep Lysistrata and her prurient gang from putting an end to the Peloponnesian war. Notably risqué, this comic drama sheds light on gender relations in ancient Athens- Wiki
