Aristophanes Aristophanes

The Clouds

Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace - a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes. The play is notable for being an early expos of sexual relations in a male-dominated society.

Excerpt from Ausgewählte Komödien des Aristophanes, Vol. 3: Die Frösche Der peloponnesische Krieg näherte sich seinem Ende.
