Summary

In the midst of the Peloponnesian War, the citizens of Athens are weary of battle. Enter Dicaeopolis, a clever and resourceful farmer, who hatches a daring plan to negotiate a private peace treaty with Sparta.

Aristophanes' The Acharnians is a hilarious and thought-provoking comedy that skewers the absurdities of war and the folly of human nature. With its witty dialogue, memorable characters, and timeless themes, this ancient play remains as relevant and entertaining today as it was over two thousand years ago.
