Produced the same year as LYSISTRATA, THE THESMOPHORIAZUSAE is considered one of the most brilliant of Aristophanes' extant plays. The play focuses on the role of women in a male-dominated society, as well as poking fun at several contemporary Athenian poets.
Aristophanes (c.446 BC - c.386 BC) was a comic playwright of ancient Athens. Eleven of his approximately forty plays survive, providing modern understanding of the Old Comedy genre. Little is known of his personal life.
