A Greve do Sexo: Lisístrata

The play uses humor to tackle serious themes like conflict and gender politics. I wonder what motivated Aristophanes to choose comedy for such a bold message.

The idea of women withholding intimacy to end a war is wild but also surprisingly effective. Did it make others think about the power dynamics in real conflicts?

Some jokes felt very specific to ancient Athens, but others seem universal. I'm curious how different audiences today interpret the satire.
