description: Aristophanes comic masterpiece revolves around two themes of enduring relevance: war and sex. No playwright since has explored the absurdities and incongruities of the human sexual drive with such bawdy abandon and dazzling play of wit. And none has presented a more devastating attack on military madness, or so telling a plea for the supreme sanity of peace. This brilliant translation of Lysistrata includes a comprehensive set of explanatory notes, as well as a glossary and an Introduction by the translator.
