Lysistrata

Lysistrata is an ancient Greek comedy by Aristophanes, first performed in 411 BC.

During the Peloponnesian War, Lysistrata persuades women from Athens, Sparta, and other Greek cities to withhold sex and seize control of the Acropolis treasury until the men negotiate peace. Through its comic battle of the sexes, the play satirizes war, political power, and conventional gender roles.

"LYSISTRATA
But with regard to Athens, note I'm careful
Not to say any of these nasty things;
Still, thought is free.... But if the women join us
From Peloponnesus and Boeotia, then
Hand in hand we'll rescue Greece."
