By means of War
It is war that destructs the Athens. The chorus is made up of all old men because there are no young men left. Those who have not been killed in the war, are off at war. The women remain behind and must take care of the children and property with little assistance. The Young women have no one to marry. Lysistrata says that when men return from war, even the old ones can find wives. But once their time has passed, the young women will never find a husband. This is one of the results of war, the abandonment of the women.

I really liked this blog. I never thought about all of the things that result from war, especially not the abandonment of women because of the men being gone due to war, and because there are only older men left
