About this book
Three plays that Aristophanes wrote during a period of social and political unrest in Athens are collected in "Lysistrata and Other Plays." In the course of the protracted conflict with Sparta, the book contains "The Acharnians," a plea for peace. A woman's amazing mission to end the Peloponnesian War by refusing all men in the land intimacy is humorously told in "Lysistrata."
"The Clouds," the third drama, reflects the ambiguities of a period that saw all conventional religious and ethical ideas called into question while satirizing Athenian intellectuals, especially Socrates.
