"Acharnians" is a comedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, which goes beyond the usual genres. In this hilarious work, the author openly criticizes the war and political corruption practices of his era. The main character, the farcical tailor Dikaiops, only dreams of ending the war and returning to a peaceful life. Aristophanes creates lively and funny storylines using sharp humor and satire. "Acharnians" is a vivid example of an ancient Greek comedy that still remains a relevant testimony of the ever-living problems of power and war.
