Wives from both camps deny their husbands basic affection in an effort to quell the violence. Set during the Peloponnesian War, the women of Greece, led by Lysistrata, create a plan to stifle the conflict between Athens and Sparta. Together, they agree to stage a sex strike, refusing to sleep with their husbands until a resolution is met. The strategy has an undeniable effect on politicians, generals and soldiers eager for a return to normalcy. It dramatically changes the focus of the warring parties, signifying the potential for peace. Lysistrata and Other Plays confronts gender norms and empowers those who are often marginalized. It’s a common theme in Aristophanes’ work that is also found in The Assemblywomen and Thesmophoriazusae. This political satire illustrates how fundamental needs always take precedence over superficial wants. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Lysistrata and Other Plays is both modern and readable.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 127mmContributor: Mint Editions (Contributions by)Genre: Language & ReferenceBook Series: Mint EditionsAuthor: AristophanesTopic: Poetry & DramaRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
