About this listen

 Experience the hilarity of Aristophanes Lysistrata, brought to life by a spirited group of college students. First performed in classical Athens around 411 B.C.E., this timeless comedic masterpiece showcases the original battle of the sexes. Lysistrata, a formidable woman, unites the women of Greece, urging them to withhold intimacy from their partners until peace is negotiated. As the men of Greece scramble to thwart her and her daring crew, double entendres and risqué humor abound, offering a playful yet insightful glimpse into gender dynamics in ancient Athens. While the translator remains unnamed, Jack Lindsay provides engaging commentary, and Norman Lindsay adds his artistic touch as the illustrator.
