| ARTICLES RELATED TO Peloponnesian War | | | |  Peloponnesian War: Encyclopedia II - History of the Peloponnesian War - Character of the HistoryThucydides' History made a number of contributions to early Historiography. Many of his principles have become standard methods of history writing today, though others have not.
History of the Peloponnesian War - Chronology.
One of Thucydides' major innovations was to employ a strict standard of chronology, recording events by year, each year consisting of the summer campaigning season and a less active winter season. As a result, events that span several years are divided up and described in parts of the ...

| | | | | | Peloponnesian War: Encyclopedia II - Long Walls - The walls in the Peloponnesian War In Athens' great conflict with Sparta, the Peloponnesian War of 432 BC to 404 BC, the walls came to be of paramount importance. Pericles, the leader of Athens from the start of the war until his death in 429 BC, based his strategy for the conflict around them. Knowing that the Spartans would attempt to draw the Athenians into a land battle by ravaging their crops, as they had in the 440s, he commanded the Athenians to remain behind the walls and rely on their navy to win the war for them. As a result, the campaigns of the first few years of ...

| | | | | Peloponnesian War: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greece - Society The distinguishing features of ancient Greek society were the division between free and slave, the differing roles of men and women, the relative lack of status distinctions based on birth, and the importance of religion.

During the Greek invasion of Syracuse during the Peloponnesian War from 415 to 413 BC, the Athenians were about to be victorious. However, one Syracusan line held, and pressed the attack, scattering and defeating the invading forces of the Athenian Empire.
At the Battle of Poltava in 1712, Swedish infantry charged across a frozen lake, and were about to defeat the Russians, but an error in communication stopped the attack. Russian troops had time to regroup ...

In Syracuse, Chaereas falls madly in love with the beautiful Callirhoe and they are married, but when he suspects her faithfulness, he kicks her so hard that she falls over dead. There is a funeral, and she is shut up in a tomb, but then it turns out she was only in a coma, and wakes up in time to scare the pirates who've opened the tomb to rob it, but they recover quickly, and take her to sell as a slave in Miletus, where ...

| | | | | Peloponnesian War: Encyclopedia II - History of the Peloponnesian War - Some difficulties of interpretation Thucydides' History is extraordinarily dense and complex. This has resulted in much scholarly disagreement on a cluster of issues of interpretation.
History of the Peloponnesian War - Strata of composition.
It is virtually certain that Thucydides died while still working on the History, leaving it ending in mid-sentence. However, there is greater deal of uncertainty whether he intended to revise the sections he had already written. Since there appear to be some contradictions between certain ...

| | | | | Peloponnesian War: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greece - The Peloponnesian War In 431 BC war broke out again between Athens and Sparta and its allies. The immediate cause was a dispute between Corinth and one of its colonies, Corcyra (modern-day Corfu), in which Athens intervened. The obvious cause was the growing resentment of Sparta and its allies at the dominance of Athens over Greek affairs. The war lasted 27 years, partly because Athens (a naval power) and Sparta (a land-based military power) found it difficult to come to grips with each other.
Sparta's initial strategy was to invade Attica, but the Athenia ...

| | | | | | | Peloponnesian War: Encyclopedia II - Long Walls - The Long Walls in Athenian strategy The building of the Long Walls reflected a larger strategy that Athens had come to follow in the early 5th century. Unlike most Greek city states, which specialized in fielding hoplite armies, Athens, since the time the building of her first fleet during a war with Aegina in the 480s BC, had focused on the navy as the center of its military. With the founding of the Delian League in 477 BC, Athens became committed to the long term prosecution of a naval war against the Persians. Over the following decades, the Athenian navy became the mainst ...

| | | | | Peloponnesian War: Encyclopedia II - Long Walls - Building of the Long Walls The first walls at Athens were built shortly following the end of the Persian Wars, during which the city had been burned by the Persians prior to the battle at Salamis. Before that time, Athens had been protected only by the fortifications of the acropolis. At the time, Sparta objected to the building of the walls, but Themistocles was dispatched to soothe the Spartans, and the construction went ahead.
In 461 BC, construction was begun on an expansion to the walls, which would connect Athens to its port at Piraeus. Completed in 457 BC, these were the Long Walls, and they ensured that Athens could not be cut off from ...

| | | | | Peloponnesian War: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greece - Spartan and Theban dominance The end of the Peloponnesian War left Sparta the master of Greece, but the narrow outlook of the Spartan warrior elite did not suit them to this role. Within a few years the democratic party regained power in Athens and other cities. In 395 BC the Spartan rulers removed Lysander from office, and Sparta lost her naval supremacy. Athens, Argos, Thebes, and Corinth, the latter two formerly Spartan allies, challenged Spartan dominance in the Corinthian War, which ended inconclusively in 387 BC. That same year Sparta shocked Greek opinion by conc ...

| | | | | Peloponnesian War: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greece - Origins The Greeks are believed to have migrated southward into the Balkan peninsula in several waves beginning in the late 3rd millennium BC, the last being the Dorian invasion. The period from 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is described in History of Mycenaean Greece known for the reign of King Agamemnon and the wars against Troy as narrated in the epics of Homer. The period from 1100 BC to the 8th century BC is a "dark age" from which no primary texts survive, and only scant archaeological evidence remains. Secondary and tertiary texts such as Herodotu ...
