	Sparta - Crystalinks
		In 449 BCE the war was ended by a five years' truce, but after Athens had lost her mainland empire by the battle of Coronea and the revolt of Megara a thirty years' peace was concluded, probably in the winter 446-445 BCE.
		That the terms of the Peace of Nicias, which in 421 BCE concluded the first phase of the war, were rather in favour of Sparta than of Athens was due almost entirely to the energy and insight of an individual Spartan, Brasidas, and the disastrous attempt of Athens to regain its lost land empire.
		The final success of Sparta and the capture of Athens in 405 BCE were brought about partly by the treachery of Alcibiades, who induced the state to send Gylippus to conduct the defence of Syracuse, to fortify Decelea in northern Attica, and to adopt a vigorous policy of aiding Athenian allies to revolt.

	2blowhards.com: Case Studies in State Formation, Part II: Athens
		The countryside in the Greek dark ages prior to 800 BCE had been dominated by large aristocratic cattle ranches; it was redeveloped during the archaic era into many small, but labor and output intensive farms.
		In 454 BCE, apparently in reaction to the Egyptian disaster of that year, Pericles relocated the treasury of the league from Delos (chosen originally as being sacred to Apollo) to Athens itself.
		In 446 BCE Boeotia revolted against Athenian control, eventually forcing Pericles to evacuate his conquests in central Greece; then the recently pacified Euboean city-states rose again in rebellion; and, finally, after Athenian armies had been dispatched to bring Euboea back into line, Megara defected from the Athenian cause and allowed Sparta to invade Attica.

		They differ from many of the recent general introductions to Greek and Roman civilization in that, whereas the latter use literary texts and works of art to illustrate their text, both Purkis and James employ their classical material as starting points for discussions on some of the major issues confronting students of ancient civilizations.
		Consequently the great war of 431-405 BCE is called the second or great Peloponnesian War.
		While it is possible to sympathize with the decision to avoid narrating the course of the latter war as being inappropriate for a book of this nature, one regrets not seeing some reference to Thucydides' 'truest cause' and to the modern economically based views on the subject.

		Because 7400 BCE currently represents the longest continuous tree-ring series: carbon-14 in the atmosphere fluctuates from year to year, and without tree ring samples, that fluctuation cannot be precisely determined.
