Lysistrata and other plays : The Acharnians, the Clouds, Lysistrata
Aristophanes2002
Book
Writing at a time of political and social crisis in Athens, Aristophanes (c. 447-c.-385 BC) was an eloquent, yet bawdy, challenger to the demagogue and the sophist. In Lysistrata and The Archarnians, two pleas for an end to the long war between Athens and Sparta, a band of women and a lone peasant respectively defeat the political establishment. The darker comedy of The Clouds satirizes Athenian philosophers, Socrates in particular, and reflects the uncertainties of a generation in which all traditional religious and ethical beliefs were being challenged."--Publisher.
