"Lysistrata" is a comedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, written around 411 BC. This play tells the story of women who, outraged by the long war, decide to use an unusual method to force men to stop the conflict. Lysistrata, the leader, proposed that all women should refrain from intimate relations with their husbands until they signed a peace treaty. This hilarious and poignant play by Aristophanes is marked by deep humor, satire, and a topicality that is still relevant today. "Lysistrata" raises issues of war and peace, gender stereotypes and social positions, making readers think about the eternal values and problems of human society.
