The Thesmophoriazusae, or A Women's Festival, is a play by Aristophanes; it followed his better-known work, Lysistrata.

The plot or plots of The Thesmophoriazusae defy my attempts to analyse them all by myself, let alone explain any of it. I've never heard of it's being staged in modern times, though I'm sure it must have been, despite the difficulty in finding anyone who can spell it.

Have a look at the link below for details on this and other works by Aristophanes, written by someone smarter than I.
