NOTES FROM MARCH 19, 2007

We read page 32 and 72,the very last page of the play Lysistrata, also read Sarah's essay on Athenian women in that back of the play. FOR THE TEST

---To the counselor, the women dress him up as a woman, he is the scape goat. By dressing him up as a woman they expel him from the group to no longer lead the men.
---He was then dressed up as a corpse, to show the death of manhood.
Aristophanes makes fun of the phallace, but while accepting its life force because without it none of us would ever exist.

Sereta is going to take one for the class. She will be expunged and the rest of the class will all
get A's.

The last page, all couples reunite and dance, paired, twp by two.
--Leda and the Swan, lays two eggs. Out of one pops the two boys, Castor and Polydeuces....and out of the other pops two girls, Helen and Clytemnestra, without Helen the Trojan war would have never happened.

Bacchae-
Hits the jailer on the head with his guitar and then runs, but plays the guitar as he is running. All the women are curious and swooning over him.
---Apollo, can not be Elvis because Apollo had no game, and got no women.
---Dianisis, not interested in smartness but all about "what comes natural" and would drive women out of their minds, literally.
