Aristophanes' Lysistrate is one of the great political comedies of world literature. It was performed in Athens in 411 BC at a Dionysus festival during the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta as a plea for peace. As the men are incapable of peace, the women take the initiative for peace in a revolutionary action led by Lysistrate, because women also have "reason" and "insight". As the old women take control of the state and war coffers from the men and the young women join the Spartans in a love strike, together they force peace through play and thus save Greece.
The intertwining of serious themes and lascivious comic action is a constitutive feature of Attic comedy in the classical period, which has its roots in Dionysian festival culture. It massively hindered the reception of Lysistrate until well into the 20th century and was only recognised as an element of carnivalesque comedy in modern times. The edition of the play with a precise translation and a differentiated commentary should help to secure the comedy its place in the cultural memory of the present.

Aufgeführt wurde sie in Athen 411 v. Chr. an einem Dionysosfest während des Peloponnesischen Krieges zwischen Athen und Sparta als ein Plädoyer für den Frieden. Da die Männer friedensunfähig sind, übernehmen die Frauen in einer revolutionären Aktion unter Führung der Lysistrate die Initiative zum Frieden, denn auch Frauen haben Verstand und Einsicht . Indem die alten Frauen den Männern die Kontrolle über die Staats- und Kriegskasse nehmen und die jungen Frauen zusammen mit den Spartanerinnen in einen Liebesstreik treten, erzwingen sie gemeinsam im Spiel den Frieden und damit die Rettung Griechenlands. Das Ineinander von ernstem Thema und lasziver komischer Handlung ist ein konstitutives Merkmal der attischen Komödie der Klassik, das in der dionysischen Festkultur seine Wurzeln hat. Es hat die Rezeption der Lysistrate bis weit ins 20. Jh. massiv behindert und ist erst in der Moderne als Element einer karnevalesken Komik anerkannt worden. Die Edition des Stückes mit präziser Übersetzung und einem differenzierten Kommentar soll helfen, der Komödie ihren Platz im kulturellen Gedächtnis der Gegenwart zu sichern. 284 pp. Deutsch.
