A group of charming and worthy ladies, Aristophanes tells us, set out with strings and instruments (mainly "instruments") to cancel the war. The ladies' weapons, permanent and desirable pirates, will prevail, the war will be defeated, and the ladies will believe in utopia.
But not Aristophanes, nor the fourth of the tragic poets Thucydides. They "know." The Sicilian disaster severely wounded the leading Athens. And despite the partial recovery, a peace treaty with Sparta would be painfully desired. The treaty did not materialize. However, the stinging comic playwright will write yet another unsurpassable work. Athens will live for a few more years, until 405 B.C.
