Resumen: Aristophanes writes the main part of his comedies at the same time as Peloponnesian War's development (431-404 B.C.), so desires and concerns of his contemporary society are reflected in all his plays. Thus, with the analysis of the antithesis war / peace and its configuration through the aristophanic periods, we intend to demonstrate the gradual collapse of the hegemonic power of Athens, an Empire that loses its supremacy until the fall in the deepest demoralization after its capitulation against Sparta (404 B.C.).
