Baker - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Lysistrata (Signet Classics) (Paperback)

This was the first book I needed to read for my assignement and was highly entertained. I like that women play major roles in this play, but am not thrilled with all the preoccupation with Sex. It makes the story seem almost juvenille in a way because that is all that is on everyone's mind. I also read a Bio about Aristophanes which put the whole thing in perspective.
