An illustrated play. The illustrations are by Norman Lindsay and the introduction and translation is by Jack Lindsay.

First performed in 411 BCE, this is a comedy.
Lysistrata, an Athenian woman, is fed up with the Peloponnesian war. So she summons a council of women from all the Greek states and persuades them to go on a sex strike until peace is agreed.

Found on PG. The file is big because of the pictures.
