About this book

In the midst of the Peloponnesian War, Aristophanes crafts "Λυσιστράτη," a comedic play that boldly explores the intersection of gender and power. As tensions rise, Lysistrata hatches a daring scheme: she rallies women from warring factions to withhold intimacy from their husbands until peace is achieved. This provocative narrative not only challenges societal norms but also highlights themes of unity and agency. With its sharp wit and incisive commentary, "Λυσιστράτη" serves as a vital text for students and civic activists interested in gender dynamics and political discourse. Immerse yourself in this timeless work that continues to resonate, revealing the strength of collective action in the face of conflict.
