No, Lysistrata is not a Greek tragedy. Instead, it is a comedic play written by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes. First performed in 411 BC, the play tells the story of a group of women, led by Lysistrata, who decide to withhold sex from their husbands as a means of forcing them to end the Peloponnesian War.
While Greek tragedies often focus on serious themes, moral dilemmas, and the downfall of protagonists, Lysistrata adopts a lighter tone that satirizes the political and social issues of its time. The humor in the play is often derived from the clever tactics employed by the women and the absurdity of the men’s responses. Overall, the play is considered one of the foundational works of comedic theatre rather than tragedy.
