(The Old) Aristophanes (The New)
After the Pelopennasian War, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peloponnesian_War) the women withheld sex from their husbands in efforts to regain peace. Lysistrata was the main leader. This play was first performed in the Festival of Dionysus. This play is a comedy because when it was acted out, the women would imitate the men with a phallus under their costumes.
