Ecclesiazusae (Classical Texts) (Aris & Phillips Classical Texts)

by Aristophanes (Author), Alan H . Sommerstein (Editor)

Synopsis

Ecclesiazusae, probably produced in 391 BC, is at once a typically Aristophanic 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.
