Status Updates From Lysistrata and Other Plays

calonice is sending meeeeee this is the funniest thing ive ever read

oh you're reading aristophanes? how cultured. and I nod complicity while holding a book full of utter FILTH. humans really have not evolved, we still find crude jokes about fucking peak comedy (because it is).

i deeply dislike greek plays

I'm rereading this for a class that starts next week.

lowkey girlboss

reading for history and i have never enjoyed reading plays why do we keepb doing this

It's funny, I initially got a different translation of this play than my history prof gave us and then decided to switch to his and OH BOY they're different... his translation is something

Absolute phenomenal bit which culminates in an actor calling you, the audience, faggots. crying

nah this is so unserious, might be the best thing ive read in my life😭

Es visualmente fatigoso, espero que fuera eso lo que se buscaba y no asumir que Espartanos = tontos = andalu

Already read The Archarnians. I guess I still need a lot of time and a long journey to be finally able to enjoy, or at least understand a good amount of what this man wrote. Although I'm afraid I will never do that because I love Euripides and this guy seems to enjoy talking sh** about him.

Molnen e fan det galnaste bevismaterialet att använda i en rättegång, tål att smältas.

(Spoiler Strepsiades sparkar Sokrates i röven på slutet och sen jagar han honom med stenar)

Dikaiopolis says make food not war

The girlies and I are pulling this of poilievre wins

Do you ever read a word in a translation that instantly reminds you that you aren't reading the actual play but an person's rendition of it

Missing mr woodruff BADDDDDD

Todo lo que he leído de esto ha sido en contra de mi voluntad

Just wanted to read about the past views of women (and this seemed like something of a primary source) and stumbled across the maddest review section ever
