Notable for its positive portrayal of women\'s rationality in a male-dominated society, "Lysistrata" stands as one the most popular and frequently performed plays from classical antiquity.
The irony of this is that the men become more upset with their wives than they do with their enemies of war.
In retaliation she convinces the women of Greece to organize a strike, refusing to have sex with their husbands until both sides agree to cease fighting.
Its titular character, Lysistrata, insists that men rarely listen to women\'s reasoning and exclude their opinions on matters of state.
The women do not care about the conflict as much as they care about missing their husbands.
Amongst the most famous of these is "Lysistrata," a comedy which focuses on the women of Greece whose husbands have left for the Peloponnesian War.
Of the nearly thirty plays he wrote during his career, eleven are extant.
