Lysistrata (Signet Classics)

Aristophanes' comic masterpiece of war and sex remains one of the greatest plays ever written. Led by the title character, the women of the warring city-states of Greece agree to withhold sexual favors with their husbands until they agree to cease fighting. The war of the sexes that ensues makes <i>Lysistrata</i> a comedy without peer in the history of theater.
