__the Pantheon of Literary Terms__

Allusion: Aristophanes uses **Allusion** by making references to the pantheon of ancient Greek gods. For example: “//O Artemis the Virgin Queen//” (pg. 191) or “//Hurrah! Apollo, hail!//” (pg.192)

Burlesque: Aristophanes uses **Burlesque** Comedy to get some laughs, but still gives an underlying seriousness. For example “//give us these Prickly Bushes here and the Malian Mulf behind them, and the Long Legs – I mean the Long Walls of Megara//” (pg 188)

Dialect: Aristophanes uses **Dialect** to differentiate between different nationalities. The most evident example is the Spartan woman. “ //We’ve set oor herrts on it and been probing around it for years//” (pg )

Crisis: ** Crisis **is evident within this play, as it is necessary to provide a conflict. The crisis within this passage is the lack of intercourse the men are getting due to the women abstaining from sexual activities. There is no one specific example, rather it is apparent throughout the passage.

Dialogue: Since “Lysistrata” is a play, **Dialogue** plays a major role in expressing, and characterizing the characters as well as relaying the plot. //“SPARTAN: Oor allies certainly will. ATHENIAN: “And so will the Carystians, I’m sure” (pg )//

Rhyme: **Rhyme** is used by Aristophanes to deliver comic relief as well as making the words that are rhymed more memorable. Furthermore rhymes allow for an easier flow. “//Once they focht in days of yore – Close by the Artemisium shore – Fu’ godlike were their deeds – And well they whipped the Medes.//” (pg )
