ARISTOPHANES: Four Plays
Clouds, a play famous for its caricature of antiquity's greatest philosopher, Socrates; Birds, in which feathered creatures build a great city and become like gods; Lysistrata, in which a woman convinces her female compatriots to withhold sex from their warmongering lovers unless they negotiate peace; and Women of the Assembly, Aristophane's most revolutionary play, which inverts the norms of gender and power.
