The women of Greece, sick of the war, seize the treasury and swear off sex until the men make peace, and the men, staggering and desperate, eventually do.

No wild beast is there, no flame of fire, more fierce and untameable than woman; the panther is less savage and shameless.
Lysistrata, Aristophanes
