Lysistrata

“LAMPITO As for mine, if he ever does return from service, he’s no sooner home than he takes down his shield again and flies back to the wars”

“ LYSISTRARA Oh, wanton,vicious sex! the poets have done well to make tragedies upon us; we are good for nothing then but love and lewdness! But you, my dear, you from hardy Sparta, if you join me, all may yet be well; help me, second me, I beg you.” 

“LYSISTRATA Come, quick, Lampito, and let us bind ourselves by an inviolable oath. LAMPITO Recite the terms; we will swear to them.” 

Importance:

Since this play was written during the time of the Peloponnesian War, one of its purpose’s could have been to show that the war was unnecessary and wasteful.  The text shows the way women were viewed  in the ancient Greek society; they were highly objectified and were seen as sexual tools. The text also indicates that sex was a powerful tool to women; they used it to their advantage to control the men.  Another interesting point that I have noticed in this text is that, the women were united and strong, they set aside their personal wishes to fight for peace and the common good unlike the men (although this play is a satire, I think it helps us in the understanding of the women in the ancient greek society).

In The Beginning

In the beginning, it was only the galaxies that existed in the void that we call "space". Stars were exploding and planets were colliding till the great planet Earth was finally created. Most people remember the Big Bang theory from their grade school science classes but in case you don’t remember, our earth was just a hairline from exploding into dust. Not long after Earth began to exist, another planet came towards earth at a speed that could’ve destroyed them both but when the collision occurred, both planets survived and one of them became our moon. But to think about how close the earth was to vanishing into oblivion with its debris floating with the stars. To think that dinosaurs, evolution, civilizations, technology, people, relationships, lessons, everything destructive yet everything beautiful about history and life almost didn’t happen? Think about that next time you take your life for granted. If we didn’t have a purpose in life, we would be floating with the stars.
