| | | | Peloponnesian War - The Archidamian War: Encyclopedia II - Peloponnesian War - The Peace of Nicias The Peace of Nicias lasted for some six years, but was a time of constant skirmishing in and around the Peloponnese. While the Spartans refrained from action themselves, some of their allies began to talk of revolt. They were supported in this by Argos, a powerful state within the Peloponnese that had remained independent of Lacedaemon.

Early Spartan attempts to break ...

The people of Syracuse were ethnically Dorian, while the Athenians, and their ally in Sicily, were Ionian. The Athenians felt obliged to assist their ally.
The Athenians did not act solely from altruism: they held visions of conquering all of Sicily. Syracuse, the principal city of Sicily, was not much smaller than Athens, and conquering all of Sicily would have brought Athens an immense amount of resources. In t ...

| | | | Peloponnesian War - The Archidamian War: Encyclopedia II - Peloponnesian War - Causes of the war According to Thucydides, the cause of the war was the "fear of the growth of the power of Athens" throughout the middle of the 5th century BC.

Athens, the largest member of the league and the major Greek naval power, took the leadership of the league and appointe ...
