Lysistrata - Hardcover

by Aristophanes Aristophanes (Author)

Lysistrata is an ancient Greek comedy by Aristophanes, originally performed in classical Athens in 411 BC. It is a comic account of a woman's extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War between Greek city states by denying all the men of the land any sex, which was the only thing they truly and deeply desired.

Aristophanes (446 BC - 386 BC), son of Philippus and Zenodora, of the deme Kydathenaion, was a comic playwright or comedy-writer of ancient Athens and a poet of Old Attic Comedy. Eleven of his 40 plays survive virtually complete.
