Discover the world of Aristophanes through comics. Autumn of 422 BC. The Peloponnesian War had already been raging for 10 years! The two rivals had reached the limits of their endurance.
Immediately after the Battle of Amphipolis, where the two pro-war leaders Cleon and Brasidas were killed, efforts for negotiations began. Aristophanes’ desire for peace is reflected in the eponymous work which he premiers the following spring at the Dionysia festival.
With a light yet profound lyrical longing, as felt by ordinary people, those who, regardless of which side they are on, pay the highest price in every war.
At the same time, in the play, the poet offers an insightful analysis of the causes of war, exposes the culprits—who are the same in all eras—and strikes them mercilessly.
With this work, Aristophanes seems to rise on a towering pedestal so that his passionate pacifist message can be heard throughout the world.
