«La asamblea de las mujeres» is a theatrical comedy by Aristophanes, published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (90 pages, in Spanish).
In fourth-century BC Athens, Praxagora convinces the women to take power and establish a communal regime. With irony and social criticism, Aristophanes reflects on the role of women, power and the construction of an ideal society, in one of the earliest surviving works of the Western utopian tradition.
The edition includes introduction, translation and notes by José Javier Viana; the original Greek title of the work is «Ἐκκλησιάζουσαι».
Aimed at those seeking classical theatre, political satire and humour with a social background.
Aristophanes was an Ancient Greek comic playwright from Athens. He wrote forty plays, of which eleven survive virtually complete. The majority of his surviving plays belong to the genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy and are considered its most valuable examples. Aristophanes's plays were performed at the religious festivals of Athens, mostly the City Dionysia and the Lenaia, and several of them won the first prize in their respective competitions.
