Lysistrata and Other Plays

by Aristophanes

Amazon
4.3(413)

This Aristophanes collection uses comic fantasy to attack war, public folly and the absurdities of Athenian civic life. Lysistrata turns sexual politics into an anti-war plot, while the other plays use satire, song and festival licence to expose the tensions of Athens during and after the Peloponnesian War.
