‘Peace,'viz.in 411 B.C.It is now the twenty-first year of the War,and there seems as little prospect of peace as ever.A desperate state ofthings demands a desperate remedy,and the Poet proceeds to suggest aburlesque solution of the difficulty.  \nThe women of Athens,led by Lysistrata and supported by femaledelegates from the other states of Hellas,determine to take matters intotheir own hands and force the men to stop the War.They meet insolemn conclave,and Lysistrata expounds her scheme,the rigorousapplication to husbands and lovers of a self-denying ordinance—\"wemust refrain from the male organ altogether.\"Every wife and mistressis to refuse all sexual favours whatsoever,till the men have come toterms of peace.In cases where the women must yield ‘par forcemajeure,'then it is to be with an ill grace and in such a way as to affordthe minimum of gratification to their partner;they are to lie passive andtake no more part in the amorous game than they are absolutely obligedto.By these means Lysistrata assures them they will very soon gaintheir end.\"If we sit indoors prettily dressed out in our best transparentsilks and prettiest gewgaws,and with our'mottes'all nicely depilated,their tools will stand up so stiff that they will be able to deny usnothing.”Such is the burden of her advice  \nAfter no little demur,this plan of campaign is adopted,and theassembled women take a solemn oath to observe the compact faithfully.Meantime as a precautionary measure they seize the Acropolis,wherethe State treasure is kept;the old men of the city assault the doors,butare repulsed by\"the terrible regiment\"”of women.Before long thedevice of the bold Lysistrata proves entirely effective,Peace isconcluded,and the play ends with the hilarious festivities of theATHENIAN and Spartan plenipotentiaries in celebration of the event.  \nThis drama has a double Chorus—of women and of old men,andmuch excellent fooling is got out of the fight for possession of thecitadel between the two hostile bands;while the broad jokes anddecidedly suggestive situations arising out of the general idea of theplot outlined above may be“better imagined than described.”  \nDramatis
