The play Lysistrata by Aristophanes is about a woman named Lysistrata who wants to end the Peloponnesian War. She convinces the women of Greece to withhold sex from their husbands to pressure the men into signing a peace treaty. The women humiliate the men while denying them intimacy. Unable to take it anymore, the men eventually agree to end the war through a treaty. Aristophanes wrote the play to advocate for peace between Athens and Sparta during the Peloponnesian War and use humor to entertain audiences.
