Aristophanes' comic masterpiece of war and sex remains one of the greatest plays ever written. Led by the title character, the women of the warring city-states of Greece agree to withhold sexual favors with their husbands until they agree to cease fighting. The war of the sexes that ensues makes 'Lysistrata' a comedy without peer in the history of theatre.
"A perfect Lysistrata for the new millennium: rich apparatus and a sparkling, metrical, accurate translation." -- Rachel Hadas, Rutgers University
