Aristófanes ha sido considerado como el primer feminista. En su obra Lisístrata nos muestra la importancia de la mujer en la sociedad griega. Pero, quizás no estemos ante un feminista, sino que Aristófanes a través de su comedía, pretende ridiculizar a la mujer: “Vais a salvar a la ciudad vosotras”, a la vez que ridiculiza a los hombres, pues son incapaces de gobernar. Nuestro error ha sido contemplar la comedia, con los ojos del siglo XXI. Aristófanes no era feminista.
Aristophanes has been considered as the first feminist. In his work Lysistra, he shows us the importance of women in Greek society. But perhaps we are not dealing with a feminist, rather, Aristophanes, through his comedy, pretends to ridicule women: «You are going to save the city”; “you are going to make fools of men, because they are incapable of governing”. Our mistake has been to contemplate comedy with the eyes of the 21st century. Aristophanes was not a feminist.
