Product Description
In Lysistrata a band of women tap into the awesome power of sex in order to end a war. The darker comedy of The Clouds satirizes Athenian philosophers, Socrates in particular, and reflects the uncertainties of a generation in which all traditional religious and ethical beliefs were being challenged.

M (USA: OH) (2008/12/20):
Contrary to the book description, this volume actually contains the comedies listed in the title, and the translators are William Arrowsmith, Richard Lattimore and Douglass Parker.
