Description

Explore the foundations of European literary tradition with this collection of three plays by the famous comic playwright Aristophanes. This volume brings together his most significant works concerning women, including the well-known Lysistrata alongside the less familiar Women at the Thesmophoria and Assemblywomen. As part of the New Classical Canon, this freshly revised edition provides a unique look at how women were portrayed in ancient times. These plays offer a perspective on women beyond their domestic roles, examining their connection to the city, religion, government, and the dynamics of war and peace. Readers can observe the relationships between women and men, as well as their involvement in theater and festivals. By presenting all three plays in a single volume for the first time, Routledge offers a comprehensive resource for students, historians, and lovers of classical theater. This collection is an essential addition to any library focused on performing arts and the history of playwriting.
