    Hello I was hoping some of you could help me.

    I am looking for a particular play from the Greek and Roman classical period. I think it's Greek but can't be sure. Anyway it's a comedy/satire and the basis of the play is that all the women of a certain place go on sex strike against the men who are constantly at war, in order to bring their fighting to an end.

    Does anyone recognise the plot and could they tell me the play's name and it's author? Thanks in advance.
