A review by politicat
Lysistrata and Other Plays by Aristophanes

funny informative slow-paced

3.5

the author doesn’t mention the real comedy of men having to play all the women characters in lysistrata as it was forbidden for women to partake in plays. and i also didn’t understand if aristophanes wrote it in an ironic way or he genuinely believed that behind all wars lied the irrationality of men’s behaviour. maybe i looked over it or maybe it was not made clear in the book
