«Lisístrata» is the comedy by Greek playwright Aristophanes, published by Ed. Clásicas in paperback (63 pages, in Spanish).
In the midst of the Peloponnesian War, the women of Athens and Sparta, led by Lysistrata, begin a conjugal strike to force the men to make peace. With that strike, Aristophanes satirizes war and the role of women, with bold dialogues and an ending that restores harmony among the Greeks.
The comedy was performed in 411 BC and includes an introduction, translation and notes by Javier Viana Reboiro.
Useful as school reading for secondary students and for those approaching classical Greek comedy.
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.
