Athens, 411 BC . As the Peloponnesian War draws to a close, a political coup begins to take shape in Athens. Veterans of the infamous battle of Mantinea, Thrasyllus, and Polemon now live as humble farmers in the countryside. They are determined to find influential husbands for their daughters, Glycera and Charis, but first they must defend Athens from the oligarchs plotting to reinstate tyrannical rule. Young and impatient, Glycera and Charis soon become infatuated with their neighbor's rich and arrogant son, Cimon. When their fathers travel to Athens to see Aristophanes's latest comedy, the girls use the chance to accept an invitation to Cimon's house . . with no notion of what awaits them on their visit. Alternating between the secret drama playing out in the countryside and the public one playing out onstage in Athens, Alessandro Barbero weaves "a compelling story of women's valiant struggles to maintain their dignity in a misogynistic society" (Historical Novel Society). 588 0 Print version record. 600 00 Aristophanes.|tLysistrata|xPerformances|vFiction. 650 0 Daughters|zGreece|zAthens|vFiction. 650 0 Mate selection|zGreece|zAthens|vFiction. 650 0 Older men|zGreece|zAthens|vFiction. 650 0 Sex|zGreece|zAthens|vFiction. 650 7 FICTION / Historical / Ancient.|2bisacsh 651 0 Athens (Greece)|xHistory|yRevolution of the Four Hundred, 411 B.C.|vFiction. 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Shugaar, Antony,|etranslator. 914 frd00031852
