However, the Athenian warships participated in the battle nevertheless, and the arrival of additional Athenian triremes was enough to dissuade the Corinthians from exploiting their victory, thus sparing much of the routed Corcyrean and Athenian fleet.[17]. He would never again lead Athenians in battle. All of this was due, in no small part, to Alcibiades. The longest Spartan invasion, in 430 BC, lasted just forty days. That treaty, however, was soon undermined by renewed fighting in the Peloponnese. At the end of the first year of the war, Pericles gave his famous Funeral Oration (431 BC). The Persians were slow to furnish promised funds and ships, frustrating battle plans. One of these posts was near Pylos on a tiny island called Sphacteria, where the course of the first war turned in Athens's favour. [11] A fifteen-year conflict, commonly known as the First Peloponnesian War, ensued, in which Athens fought intermittently against Sparta, Corinth, Aegina, and a number of other states. The Peloponnesian War reshaped the ancient Greek world. The Athenian force consisted of over 100 ships and some 5,000 infantry and light-armored troops. He sent his son Cyrus the Younger into Asia Minor as satrap of Lydia, Phrygia Major and Cappadocia, and general commander (Karanos, κἀρανος) of the Persian troops. Thus, Cyrus put all his means at the disposal of Lysander in the Peloponnesian War. With the support of the Athenians, the Argives succeeded in forging a coalition of democratic states within the Peloponnese, including the powerful states of Mantinea and Elis. [10] According to Thucydides, although the Spartans took no action at this time, they "secretly felt aggrieved". They were supported in this by Argos, a powerful state within the Peloponnese that had remained independent of Lacedaemon. According to Thucydides, the Spartans acted in this way out of fear that the Athenians would switch sides and support the helots; the offended Athenians repudiated their alliance with Sparta. Rising to particular importance in Athenian democracy at this time was Cleon, a leader of the hawkish elements of the Athenian democracy. The Athenian Empire, although based in the peninsula of Attica, spread out across the islands of the Aegean Sea; Athens drew its immense wealth from tribute paid from these islands. As prominent historian J. The Athenians were thoroughly defeated. The Spartans and Athenians agreed to exchange the hostages for the towns captured by Brasidas, and signed a truce. The Athenians however allowed Alcibiades to go on the expedition without being tried (many believed in order to better plot against him). [25][26], Facing the resurgence of Athens, from 408 BC, Darius II decided to continue the war against Athens and give stronger support to the Spartans. After additional setbacks, Nicias seemed to agree to a retreat until a bad omen, in the form of a lunar eclipse, delayed any withdrawal. Perhaps worst of all, the nearby silver mines were totally disrupted, with as many as 20,000 Athenian slaves freed by the Spartan hoplites at Decelea. Cette dernière, risquant alors d'être évincée de la mer Ionienne, pousse son ancienne colonie thrace de Potidéeà quitter la Confédération maritime d'Athènes, créée après les guerres médiques. In 403 BC, the oligarchs were overthrown and a democracy was restored by Thrasybulus. The hostages gave the Athenians a bargaining chip. The democrats at Samos, loyal to the bitter last, held on slightly longer, and were allowed to flee with their lives. Thus, the two powers were relatively unable to fight decisive battles. The Ionian states that rebelled expected protection, and many rejoined the Athenian side. Thucydide est le créateur de la raison historique. In him, Cyrus found a man who was willing to help him become king, just as Lysander himself hoped to become absolute ruler of Greece by the aid of the Persian prince.

Many of the citizens of Attica abandoned their farms and moved inside the Long Walls, which connected Athens to its port of Piraeus. [27] There, Cyrus allied with the Spartan general Lysander. Following this, Athens instructed Potidaea in the peninsula of Chalkidiki, a tributary ally of Athens but a colony of Corinth, to tear down its walls, send hostages to Athens, dismiss the Corinthian magistrates from office, and refuse the magistrates that the city would send in the future.

The Athenian army, attempting to withdraw overland to other, more friendly Sicilian cities, was divided and defeated; the entire Athenian fleet was destroyed, and virtually the entire Athenian army was sold off into slavery. Bury remarks, the Peloponnesians would have considered it the "Attic War".[3]. Cavalry was limited to about 30 horses, which proved to be no match for the large and highly trained Syracusan cavalry. More battles ensued and again, the Syracusans and their allies defeated the Athenians. Nicias and Demosthenes marched their remaining forces inland in search of friendly allies. Athènes connaît, comme les héros tragiques, la grandeur et la chute. Following the defeat of the Athenians in Sicily, it was widely believed that the end of the Athenian Empire was at hand. From 414 BC, Darius II, ruler of the Achaemenid Empire had started to resent increasing Athenian power in the Aegean and had his satrap Tissaphernes enter into an alliance with Sparta against Athens, which in 412 BC led to the Persian reconquest of the greater part of Ionia. [28][29][30], Cyrus the Younger would later obtain the support of the Spartans in return, after having asked them "to show themselves as good friend to him, as he had been to them during their war against Athens", when he led his own expedition to Susa in 401 BC in order to topple his brother, Artaxerxes II.[31]. The Athenians captured 300 Spartan hoplites. After boasting that he could put an end to the affair in the Assembly, the inexperienced Cleon won a great victory at the Battle of Sphacteria. [12] When the rebellious helots were finally forced to surrender and permitted to evacuate the state, the Athenians settled them at the strategic city of Naupaktos on the Gulf of Corinth. The economic costs of the war were felt all across Greece; poverty became widespread in the Peloponnese, while Athens was completely devastated, and never regained its pre-war prosperity. What then ensued was a period, referred to as the Pentecontaetia (the name given by Thucydides), in which Athens increasingly became in fact an empire,[8] carrying out an aggressive war against Persia and increasingly dominating other city-states. This was a direct violation of the Thirty Years' Peace, which had (among other things) stipulated that the Delian League and the Peloponnesian League would respect each other's autonomy and internal affairs.

The Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC)[2] was an ancient Greek war fought by the Delian League led by Athens against the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta.
