Book Reviews of Lysistrata (Signet Classics)
Book Review: surprisingly, a thoroughly enjoyable read.
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading some of Aristophanes' plays and not being particularly impressed, i was very surprised to find this a very interesting and innovative play. Women predominate in the cast and in the action making a nice change. The plot which involves a sex-strike and the seizure of the acropolis, although a comic fantasy, is very entertaining. This play also has significant meaning as Aristophanes is guiding the Athenians towards making peace and trying to goad them into making negotiations.
