This was the first of his plays in reaction … More to the war, as well as the play "Peace." But perhaps Aristophanes most famous play, Lysistrata, made his true feelings of the war known. "The Acharnians" was his first play, written in 425, B.C. He wrote more than 40, eleven of which are still being acted today. Aristophanes was first a satirist, he was well known for attacking anything from politics to poets, mainly the war between Sparta and Athens and the poet Euripides. It is also believed that he owned land on the island of Aegina.
Aristophanes is believed to have been well educated, which would explain his propensity towards words. He was born in Athens, Greece, in the town of Cydathenaeum. Aristophanes is considered to be one of the greatest comedic writers ever to have taken to the stage.
