	Battle of Aegospotami
		The battle of Aegospotami in 405 BC was the destruction of the Athenian navy in the Peloponnesian War, and led directly to Athens' final defeat by Sparta in the following year.
		After the Athenian victory at the Arginusae Islands[?], Conon took the fleet to the small river mouth at Aegospotami in the Hellespont.
		The Spartan fleet was close by on the opposite side of the Hellespont, and for four days Conon rowed his fleet over to it, trying to engage the Spartans, who for their part stayed put.

		In 413, on the suggestion of Alcibiades, he fortified Decelea in Attica, where he remained directing operations until, after the battle of Aegospotami (405), he took the leading part in the blockade of Athens, which was ended in spring 404 by the surrender of the city.
		At this time the state had been brought to the brink of ruin by the growth of avarice and luxury; there was a glaring inequality in the distribution of land and wealth, and the number of full citizens had sunk to 700, of whom about 100 practically monopolized the land.
		Though reared in the height of luxury he at once determined to restore the traditional institutions of Lycurgus, with the aid of Lysander, a descendant of the victor of Aegospotami, and Mandrocleidas, a man of noted prudence and courage; even his mother, the wealthy Agesistrata, threw herself heartily into the cause.

		Nevertheless, Anaxagoras proved to be more insightful, thought the fall at AEGOSPOTAMI was the first properly explained fall and this was by Diogenes.

	Victor Davis Hanson on Peloponnesian War on National Review Online
		After the formal capitulation of spring 404, it was replaced by a narrow and mean-spirited oligarchy (the Thirty Tyrants), as Athens' old tributary subjects abroad were "liberated" and left to their own devices.
		Aegospotami marks the of?cial end of direct Athenian-Spartan hostilities, yet the war was not formally concluded until a besieged Athens gave up the democracy in spring 404.
		Perhaps as he toiled in the 390s to finish up his grand tale of Athenian folly and its inevitable punishment and decline, the resurrected democracy instead right before his eyes arose from the ashes of war and oligarchy, calling into question many of the historian's sweeping pessimistic judgments forged during his wartime exile.

	Victor Davis Hanson on war on National Review Online
		Fifth-century Athens flourished on the principles of radical democracy and overseas imperialism — a devil's bargain that empowered the underclass at home by extracting capital for it from subject states abroad.
		Yet the bitter defeat at Aegospotami at the end of the Peloponnesian War —; and the final dismantling of the Athenian navy — disabused Athenians of their credence in the once-grand overseas imperialism that had slaughtered Melians and attempted the same to Syracusans.
		Their subsequent reconstituted postbellum democracy engaged in neither ethnic cleansing nor capital expropriation abroad — so cognizant were they of the past follies that led finally to Spartan triremes docked at their Piraeus.
