Women on the Edge - A Short Season of Greek Plays: Medea/Lysistrata archive

Medea, the barbarian from another land, the witch who betrayed her father, who killed her brother and murdered her husband's uncle apparently out of love for Jason, finds herself abandoned by her husband for another - obviously much younger - woman and the crown that comes with this new alliance. Medea's reaction to this treason made her one of the most fascinating heroines of Greek mythology. A much more lighthearted approach to the battle of the sexes is portrayed in Aristophanes' Lysistrata. This heroine is determined to put an end to killing in the name of war and persuades the women of Greece to refuse any sexual contact with their husbands until a peace treaty has been agreed upon. It seems Lysistrata has successfully identified man's weakness...
