The Acharnians

Resumen

"The Acharnians" by Aristophanes is a comedy produced in 425 BC. When Dikaiopolis grows weary of the Peloponnesian War, he secures a private peace treaty with the Spartans for himself alone. His decision enrages fellow Athenians, especially aged war veterans from Acharnae who despise anyone speaking of peace. Through absurd humor and bold satire, Aristophanes crafts an imaginative appeal for ending the war while defending himself against political attacks on his previous work.
