Lysistrata (AmazonClassics Edition)

"Lysistrata" by Aristophanes, published by Amazon Classics. The Peloponnesian War seems to have no end, and one woman has had enough. Lysistrata, the outspoken, practical-minded heroine of Aristophaness comedic masterpiece, crafts a plan to end the conflict once and for all with a surefire means to unity: she implores all the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges until a peace treaty is signed.
