Book Description

ISBN-10: 0856687073 | ISBN-13: 978-0856687075 | Publication Date: December 1, 1999

Ecclesiazusae, probably produced in 391 BC, is at once a typically Aristophonic fantasy of gender inversion, obscenity and farce, the earliest surviving work in the western Utopian tradition, and the source of a blueprint for a communist society on which Plato may well have drawn in his Republic.
