“Hussies are we?”
The full quote is below- does anyone else feel the need to print copies of Lysistrata and just distribute them throughout the US? Maybe someone younger than me can make a Tik tok 🤣
“Have a care, my good sir, for I can strike too. We’ll put down our pitchers and reason with you. - I honor the state , and would fain see her thrive; She owes me a hearing, for look! man alive. You eat up her income, nor add to the store; I give what she prizes a hundred times more than war-funds or levies - for I give her men! You make the statues; Nine times out of ten You run us in dangers that threaten our fall. The grievance is ours and not yours at all!” -First ‘Old Woman’, Lysistrata by Aristophanes
“Hussies are we? We can fight, we can hit and we can bite. Exercise your manly might! On our side is truth and right. “ -First ‘Old Woman’ , Lysistrata by Aristophanes
