The women in Athens have had enough of the war and want their city to finally make peace, even if this goal can only be achieved with the ultimate bargaining chip: no more sex! The title character, Lysistrata, is the ringleader of this revolution, which Aristophanes stages in the style of ancient comedy. This edition presents the poet's most popular and well-known play as a bilingual edition, allowing for an in-depth engagement with the often risqué original.
