The play, full of humor and comical situations, explores themes such as war, female power, and gender relations in ancient Greece. This edition of Los Secretos de Diotima presents an accessible translation and explanatory notes for the modern reader.
Aristophanes was an Ancient Greek comic playwright from Athens. He wrote forty plays, of which eleven survive virtually complete. The majority of his surviving plays belong to the genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy and are considered its most valuable examples. Aristophanes's plays were performed at the religious festivals of Athens, mostly the City Dionysia and the Lenaia, and several of them won the first prize in their respective competitions.
