Lysistrata by Aristophanes
"Lysistrata" by Aristophanes is an ancient Greek comedy first staged in 411 BCE. When the Peloponnesian War drags on endlessly, an Athenian woman named Lysistrata devises a bold plan: convince women from all warring Greek city-states to withhold sex from their husbands until peace is negotiated. Leading a rebellion that includes seizing the Acropolis and its treasury, Lysistrata sparks a battle between the sexes that tests whether desire or duty will prevail
in this audacious comedy about war and power. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
