Troisi�me com�die �crite par Aristophane apr�s les D�taliens et les Babyloniens, Les Akharniens sont un plaidoyer en faveur de la paix. En effet, la pi�ce prend place dans la septi�me ann�e de la guerre du P�loponn�se, qui oppose Ath�nes et ses alli�s de la ligue de D�los � Sparte et sa ligue du P�loponn�se. Ath�nes est � la recherche de nouveaux soutiens.

Aristophane d�fend la paix en montrant d'abord que la guerre est absurde: selon lui, elle aurait �t� d�clench�e par P�ricl�s pour prot�ger les int�r�ts de sa concubine Aspasie. Ensuite, il d�crit ses effets: ruineuse pour le peuple, et source de profits pour quelques profiteurs de guerre. Enfin, il affirme que tous les braves gens d�sirent une tr�ve, et que seuls les hommes politiques et les militaires y sont oppos�s. Le d�magogue Cl�on, l'une des t�tes de Turc d'Aristophane, est encore une fois vigoureusement attaqu�.
