Using the works Lysistrata (by Aristophanes) and the Iliad (by Homer) one can delve into the male psyche and gain a better understanding of why the men in each of these respected works behave the way they did. ... Cinesias, and the Chorus from Lysistrata, and Achilles from the Iliad. ...
Cinesias, is the husband to one of Lysistrata’s companions named Myrrhine. ... This scene hold similiarities with a scene from the Iliad involving Hector and his wife. Homer’s Iliad (book 6), where Hector ignored good strategic advice from his wife, Andromache, & ordered to return inside the house & manage the working of wool).
The male chorus found in Lysistrata is comprised of ignorant old men who see women as nothing more than property that is good for sex and household duties and who could never have any insight into the politics of the day. Andromache in the Iliad is a woman who also gives advice to men and who is not heeded due to her sex.
