When looking up a list of the greatest writers of antiquity I came across the name Aristophanes. I looked to see what I could check out this week from the library for Aristophanes and the only play available was Lysistrata.

Lysistrata decides that the men will never end the war that is raging and she realizes only women can stop it. To do so she gathers the women of the warring cities and together they vow to withhold sex from their husbands until peace is established. Her plan works and peace is restored.

Overall I was not that impressed with this play.
