Because it combines both farce with truthfulness regarding the context of the work during the Classical period, Lysistrata is a valuable resource when it comes to understanding how women and their sexuality functioned in society, as well as how these functions developed throughout history. Since premiering, it has spawned many modern versions and portrayals, and is often quite well-recognized due to its controversial and hilarious content regarding sexuality and its power over the citizens of Greece during the Peloponnesian War. Lysistrata, the comedy by Aristophanes, was written to be performed in the 5 th century BCE and is still one of the most significant resources we have regarding the roles and actions of women in Classical Greece.
