Lysistrata Audiobook (Free)

The Peloponnesian War drags on and on with no result in sight, and the tough-minded Lysistrata has taken enough. Men!-constantly building stupid decisions that influence everyone. Women’s opinions are never listened to.

Taking matters into her own hands, Lysistrata convenes a meeting of women from warring city-states across Greece and demands a making love strike. It’s a hard sell, however in the end it really is agreed: they’ll withhold sex before war is brought to hasty a detailed.

Playing their portion too, the old women about Lysistrata of Athens assume control of the Acropolis-and with it, the treasury-holing up behind it’s barred gates and choking off the silver precious metal that cash the interminable war.

It’s a waiting game, and a hard one-some of the women already are becoming in need of sex and deserting the cause. But Lysistrata is set to remain the program and quickly restores discipline. The males can’t hold on forever … may they?

First staged in 411 BCE, Lysistrata is the bawdy, comic account of one woman’s singular mission to get rid of the Peloponnesian Battle using the only means that seems available to her within a male-dominated world.
