The Acharnians is one of the earliest of the eleven surviving comedies of Aristophanes. It was produced in 425 BC, in the sixth year of the Peloponnesian War, and demonstrates the author's strong feelings in favour of peace. The play is notable for its lampooning of the war and its celebration of rural life. This edition includes an introduction, notes, and a dialectical glossary by W. W. Merry, offering valuable context and linguistic insights for students and enthusiasts of classical Greek literature. The Acharnians remains a significant work for understanding the political and social climate of ancient Athens, as well as the enduring power of comedic drama.
