By the end of the 6th century, Sparta had become the most powerful state in the Peloponnese, and was the political and military hegemon over Argos, the next most powerful state. Sparta acquired two powerful allies, Corinth and Elis, by ridding Corinth of tyranny, and helping Elis secure control of the Olympic Games. Sparta continued strategies like this to gain other allies in their league. Sparta defeated Tegea in a frontier war and offered them a permanent defensive alliance; this was the turning point for Spartan foreign policy. Click the link for more information.

History of the Peloponnesian War Thucydides Translated by Benjamin Jowett The Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.E.) was the greatest "disturbance" in Greek history to that time. The bitter rivalry between the two chief city-states, Athens and Sparta, and their respective allies ended with the ruin of Athens' naval hegemony and what the Greek historian Thucydides (ca. 460-400 B.C.E.) called a "convulsion" affecting all humankind. Thucydides recreates the often savage events of the war and brings to life its chief protagonists: Pericles, Nicias, Cleon, Alcibiades, and others. The first of the "scientific" historians, Thucydides makes use of documentary material and relies on eyewitness accounts; even where direct documentary evidence is lacking, his keen under- standing of human nature helps him to uncover the truth of what actually happened. 785 pages (Index) ISBN 1-57392-216-1 Paper Return to: Great Minds Series List

Encyclopedia Peloponnesian War u p u n E u n] Pronunciation Key Peloponnesian War B.C. , decisive struggle in ancient Greece between Athens and Sparta. It ruined Athens. The rivalry between Athens' maritime domain and Sparta's land empire was of long standing. Athens under Pericles (from 445 B.C. ) had become a bastion of Greek democracy, with a foreign policy of regularly intervening to help local democrats. The Spartans, however, favored oligarchies like their own. Cleon The Spartan leader Brasidas now brilliantly surprised Athens with a campaign in NE Greece, taking (424) Athenian cities, including Olynthus and Amphipolis. Fighting went on over these even after an armistice (423) and ended in a decisive Spartan victory at Amphipolis, in which Brasidas and Cleon were both killed (422). The new Athenian leader, Nicias , arranged a peace (421), but his rival Alcibiades persuaded the Athenians to invade powerful Syracuse. In the greatest expeditionary force a Greek city had ever assembled, Alcibiades and Nicias both had (415) commands, but before the attack on Syracuse had begun, Alcibiades was recalled to Athens to face a charge of sacrilege. He fled to Sparta; at his advice the Spartans set up a permanent base at Decelea in Attica and sent a military expert, Gylippus, to Syracuse. The incompetent Nicias lost his chance to surprise Syracuse, and after two years his force was wiped out (413). Soon Persia was financing a Spartan fleet. Alcibiades sailed it across the Aegean, and there was (412) a general revolt of Athenian dependencies. At Athens the Four Hundred, an oligarchic council, managed (411) a short-lived coup, and Alcibiades, who had quit the Spartans, received (410) an Athenian command. He destroyed the Spartan fleet at Cyzicus (410). The new Spartan admiral

CHAPTER I. - The State of Greece from the earliest Times to the Commencement of the Peloponnesian War - Indeed, they could not unite for this expedition till they had gained increased familiarity with the sea. And the first person known to us by tradition as having established a navy is Minos. He made himself master of what is now called the Hellenic sea, and ruled over the Cyclades, into most of which he sent the first colonies, expelling the Carians and appointing his own sons governors; and thus did his best to put down piracy in those waters, a necessary step to secure the revenues for his own use. And even at the present day many of Hellas still follow the old fashion, the Ozolian Locrians for instance, the Aetolians, the Acarnanians, and that region of the continent; and the custom of carrying arms is still kept up among these continentals, from the old piratical habits. The whole of Hellas used once to carry arms, their habitations being unprotected and their communication with

The Peloponnesian War - Page 5 of 17 Outbreak of the War Corinth and Athens fought indirectly, through their colonies and allies, each unwilling to have their respective forces face one another. At Corcyra and Potidaea in 433, Corinthian and Athenian ships fought one another, though only in the role of protectors of their colonies. Nevertheless, these conflicts involved large expenditures of money and resources, and each further cemented the enmity between the two cities. In 432, land forces engaged over Megara, which is on the isthmus of Corinth. Then, in 431, Thebes attacked Plataea in an attempt to force that city to join its own Boeotian League. Plataea, you should recall, was the one city to fight alongside Athens at Marathon. The Athenians still offered special thanks to the city every five years in remembrance. There was no way Athens would tolerate Theban domination of Plataea. Athens declared war on Thebes, Sparta sprang to the defense of its ally, Corinth rallied to Sparta, and everyone chose up sides. The war was on.

This belief was not without its grounds.

Table of Contents Introduction to Greek Tragedy The Peloponnesian War Genre - History What we refer to as myth or legend was considered historical fact by most Greeks down into and even beyond the fifth century B.C. For example, the Homeric poems were taken seriously as an historical record of the past. Indeed, as modern archaeology has shown, there is a kernel of historical truth in the Iliad that is, a war did take place at the site of Troy in approximately the same period as was assigned to it by legend. Nevertheless, it is clear that the overall account of the Trojan war in the Iliad is the result of imaginative embellishment of a story told again and again by generations of poets. It was not until more than two centuries after the composition of the Homeric poems that a more scientific form of history developed. Rational analysis, which had begun in Ionia with the Milesian philosophers with reference to the universe, gradually extended to include the recording of human events. Historie , the Greek word from which our word "history" is derived, means 'inquiry' and indicates the nature of this new way of dealing with the past. The recording of human events is no longer the uncritical retelling of traditional myths and legends, but an account which is the result of critical evaluation applied to what the author himself and others have seen and heard.

THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR Escalation First Half of War The Sicilian Expedition ESCALATION The Peloponnesian War did not start overnight. In fact there were many reasons and events leading up to the start of military hostilities. Tension and resentment between Athens and Sparta began after the Spartans chose to return home instead of continuing the siege against the Persians in the Near East in the years following the defeat of the Persians in the Second Persian War Athens, continuing to fight, began to show that it too had a strong military like the Spartans. Because of this many of the smaller city-states in northern Greece and on the islands in the Aegean Sea became Athens' allies . The resulting alliances became known as the Delian league . In addition to their infantry advancement, the Athenian fleet had become by far the largest and most formidable navy in the region. This was mostly due to the fact that the Athenians were collecting tribute (a sort of tax) from the other city-states in the Delian league. This tax was in exchange for the protection the Athenian fleet and army provided. In addition to offensive military growth

Religion The Web Just H4K H4K Lesson Plans for Teachers Parents' Corner H4K Crafts and Projects Peloponnesian War The Athenian historian Thucydides , who lived through the Peloponnesian War and wrote the history of it, began by asking, why did the war start? He answered that basically the war started because Athens was too greedy, and tried to take over all of Greece. So the Spartans decided to stop the Athenians, and help all the cities of Greece become free and independent. The Spartans formed an alliance with Corinth and some other, smaller Greek cities, and brought an army to march to the walls of Athens in 441 BC In the first years of the war, it must have seemed pretty hopeless. The Athenians had a lot of money, and a lot of power, and they were the only Greek city that had a good navy. Even though the Spartans could attack the countryside around Athens, the Athenians were safe inside their walls, and the Spartans could not break through. And the Athenians could get food , and come and go as they pleased, by sailing out of their port in their ships. The Spartans didn't have any navy, so they couldn't stop the Athenians from sailing around.

The Web Just H4K China India West Asia Greece ... Religion Classical period In 510 BC a man named Cleisthenes (cl-ICE-then-eez), who was an aristocrat (a rich, powerful man) in Athens, invented another new type of government, the democracy . Cleisthenes, like other aristocrats, wanted to get more power. But tyrants had gotten unpopular in Athens. Cleisthenes decided to give even more power to poor people. He organized a new way of making political decisions. Every Athenian man would have one vote, and they would all meet and vote on what to do. The big meeting was called the Assembly. But all the men couldn't meet every day; they had to work . So there was also a smaller council of 500 men, who were chosen by a lottery, and changed every year. Seems like Cleisthenes AND the other aristocrats would be out of power? But he arranged the voting so that his family, the Alcmaeonids (alk-MEE-oh-nids), would have more votes than anyone else. In 490 BC the Persians attacked Athens. Everybody was very frightened, because the Persians were great fighters. Some people thought Athens should go back to the old system of government, the
