Greek Reference

Throughout Lysistrata, there is constant reference to Greek names and things in general. Things such as Aristophanes, Spartan, Athenians, peloponnesian, koryphaios, etc, represent the time period and the issues that surrounded that period. Moreover, the Greek reference connects and explains the cover of Lysistrata due to the fact that the women dressed in longer and more simple clothing, and the instrument that one women is holding in her hand, suggests the time period of the Grecians, and how they lived during that time. Overall, the Greek reference illustrates the the Greek era and how their society functioned.
