In the play "Lysistrata" by Aristophanes, the rising action occurs as the women of Greece, led by Lysistrata, come together and make a pact to withhold sex from their husbands in order to end the Peloponnesian War. As tensions rise between the men and women, comedic conflicts ensue as both sides try to outwit each other. The rising action builds towards the climax when the women successfully persuade the men to make peace.
