"Here's a line I don't quite get:

that's the way Aristophanes and Homer wrote the Iliad and Lysistrata

Does this have some deeper meaning, beyond just being another example of how life has been like this since the time of the ancient Greeks? "

LOL im probably one of the few people that got that! :P

We read lysisstrata in school and

Illiad ( i believe not sure) is the story of hellen of troy and the war and lysisstrata is a Satire where the women of a city refuse sex to their husbands to end th 10 year war in greece. so in a way its the to extremes men going ot war for a women and well sex.. and women stoping a war with sex ^_^

That line made me giggle!

but its also to emphize the this has been going on for a while.
