Den Frauen reicht’s. Sie haben genug vom Krieg und wollen, dass ihre Stadt Athen endlich Frieden schließt, auch wenn dieses Ziel sich bei den kriegstollen Männern nur mit dem letzten Druckmittel erreichen lässt: No more sex! Die Titelheldin Lysistrate ist die Rädelsführerin dieser Revolution, deren Organisation und Durchführung Aristophanes in für die ›Alte Komödie‹ typischer Derbheit inszeniert. Bei allem Witz reflektiert die Komödie freilich die aktuellen Verhältnisse des Jahres 411 v. Chr., als sich Athen nach zwei Jahrzehnten des Krieges gegen Sparta in katastrophaler Lage befand. Die Übertragung gibt den oftmals pikanten Text unverblümt wieder und bildet den provinziellen Dialekt, den die Spartaner im Original sprechen, in bestem Altbairisch ab.
