Özet
Aristophanes’s Lysistrata one of his most renowned comedies, has been translated into numerous languages and staged in various adaptation forms. The first translation of the play in Turkey, which is famous for containing expressions and terms related to sexuality, was made by Azra Erhat and Sabahattin Eyüboğlu in 1966; the latest translation was made by Emre Poyraz in 2021. This study aims to examine the expressions and terms reflecting sexuality in these two translations and analyze their function and impact within the target system. The reason for selecting these two translations is to discuss how the half-century gap between them influenced the translation language and the role of the historical context in which these translations were made. By doing so, the study will explore how translation decisions have changed over time, thereby questioning the translation approach of each period. Additionally, the study will investigate the reasons for addressing sexuality in literary texts and how this theme is reflected in translations from two different periods, taking into account the translation approach of the time when it was first translated into Turkish. The study will attempt to demonstrate how this understanding influenced or shaped the translators' decisions through the translations made. In this context, it will be shown what changes and differences the expressions related to sexuality have led to in the stage directions. These differences will be based not merely on a traditional linguistic analysis but also on the ideological approach and aesthetic understanding of the periods in which the translations were made. While doing this, the translations will be interpreted with a historical and descriptive translation approach, emphasizing extra textual factors and the function and meaning of the source text.
