Plot:
Greek warriors set out to regain the sacred girdle of Diana, stolen by the queen of the Amazons. They arrive to find that women rule and fight while the men mind the children and buy new hats. The Greeks are taken before the female council, who are initially unaffected by the notion of male equality. By the end of two acts, everyone is in love.
