	Peloponnesian War - A Strategy Comparison
		A study of the strategies and projections of King Archidamus of Sparta as compared to those of Pericles of Athens reveal Archidamus' understanding of the "superiority of land power as a basis for success at sea" in the ancient Mediterranean - as well as Pericles' naiveté as to this tenet.
		Archidamus was keenly aware of Sparta's main weakness - its navy - and took affirmative steps before engaging in battle to address the problem.
		While Archidamus sought to shore up his weak navy, Pericles made no attempt to shore up his weak army; and as strong as the Athenian Navy was, it did not pose a major threat to the city of Sparta.

	Essay on Archidamus and Pericles during the Greek Wars
		Pericles of Athens and Archidamus of Sparta devised net assessments that both believed would provide strategies that would bring victory and peace for their respective states.
		This essay will show that Archidamus did a better job of net assessment prior to the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War.
