Λυσιστράτη by Aristophanes
"Λυσιστράτη" by Aristophanes is an ancient Greek comedy first staged in 411 BCE. When the Peloponnesian War drags on endlessly, Lysistrata devises a bold plan: she persuades women from warring Greek city-states to withhold sex from their husbands until peace is negotiated. The women also seize Athens's treasury to cut off war funding. As desperate men and determined women clash, this battle between the sexes tests whether desire can overcome the momentum
of war and male-dominated politics. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
