Excerpt from The Peace of Aristophanes: Acted at Athens at the Great Dionysia, B. C. 421; The Greek Text Revised, With a Translation Into Corresponding Metres, Introduction and Commentary The spring of the year b.c. 421 found Athens and Sparta alike weary of the long continuance of the Peloponnesian War, and alike disposed to put an end to the conflict upon any fair and honourable terms. The War had now lasted exactly ten years: and as its fortunes alternated from side to side, Athens at one time, and Sparta at another, had been reduced to offer conditions of peace; but hitherto the very events, which had caused the offer to be made by one combatant, had themselves ensured its rejection by the other. Now, for the first time, the wishes of both coincided; both felt that they had far more to lose than to gain by a further prolongation of hostilities; both were therefore eager to terminate the War, and the desire of Peace was as ardent and as genuine on the one side as on the other. The Lacedaemonians had commenced the war with the reputation of invincible prowess, and with the general sympathy of Hellas strongly manifested in their favour. And notwithstanding the warnings of their wiser and more experienced counsellors, they had imagined that it would be but an easy task for their great Confederacy to chastise and humble the Imperial Republic which had dared to subjugate, and was holding in tributary vassalage, so many Hellenic cities, formerly as free and independent as herself. They looked forward to a few short and decisive campaigns which would win them immortal glory, and the thanks and gratitude of a liberated Hellas. These visions had been rudely and completely dispelled. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
