Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a close reading of the text of Aristophanesâ Lysistrata, a comedy performed in 411 BCE amid the Peloponnesian War that presents an audacious and timely call for peace. The author focuses on passages that have been misinterpreted or inaccurately emended by previous scholars, offering fresh perspectives informed by knowledge of ancient lexicography, history, and archaeology. Aristophanes' play centers on the titular character's scheme to end the war by withholding sexual favors from their husbands until a peace treaty is signed. Through a detailed examination of the text, the author uncovers the playwright's clever use of puns, allusions, and cultural references to satirize both the Athenians and the Spartans, exposing the absurdity of their conflict. Beyond its comedic elements, Lysistrata also explores deeper themes of gender, power dynamics, and the devastating impact of war on society. This book's meticulous analysis invites readers to engage with Aristophanes' text on a new level, shedding light on the play's enduring relevance as a critique of war and a testament to the power of humor and social commentary in times of conflict. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259794523_0
