Peace is the personification of peace, and in the play she takes the form of a beautiful naked girl whom both the Athenian and Spartan men lust after. Peace accompanies Lysistrata outside the Acropolis while the Greeks put a stop to the Peloponnesian War, and she is ogled all the while by Kinesias and a Spartan ambassador.
