"Lysistrata" is a comedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, written around 411 BC. This famous play tells the story of a woman named Lysistrata, who unites the women of Athens in a joint protest against war. She comes up with a plan: to keep her husbands from having sex until they sign peace with their enemies. This leads to comical and unexpected situations where the heroine and other women try to achieve the goal in crazy and funny ways. "Lysistrata" is not only a fun work, but also a deep social commentary that has become a classic in Aristophanes' work.
