		Sparta (Greek Î£Ï€Î¬ÏÏ„Î·) was a city in ancient Greece, whose territory included, in Classical times, all Laconia and Messenia, and which was the most powerful state of the Peloponnesus.
		Pleistoanax (reigned 459 BC â€“ 409 BC) was an Agiad King of Sparta.
		That same year, the Athenians suffered a major defeat in Boeotia at the Battle of Delium, and in 422 BC they were defeated at the Battle of Amphipolis in their attempt to take back that city.

		Oionos, a stripling cousin of Herakles—he was the son of Likymnios the brother of Alkmene—came to Sparta along with Herakles, and went round to view the city.
		On this occasion he was wounded, and made good his retreat by stealth; but afterwards he made an expedition against Sparta and succeeded in avenging himself on Hippocoön and also on the sons of Hippocoön for their murder of Oionos.
		In Sparta is a Lesche called Poikile ('Painted') and by it hero-shrines of Kadmos the son of Agenor, and of his descendants Oiolykos son of Theras and Aegeus son of Oiolykos.

		Chionis of Laconia was a champion seven times: four times in the stadion and three in the diaulos, competing in four consecutive Olympiads from 668 to 656 BC.
		Although the modern equivalent of the diaulos would be the 400 metres, the ancient runners didn’t get to spread their race over a lap.
		The first female Olympic winner was Kyniska, daughter of Archidamus, king of Sparta, who won the chariot races of 396 and 392 BC.

	The Peace of Nicias
		Its main point was that Athens and Sparta would keep what they had, although there were some adjustments: Sparta would return Amphipolis to Athens, and the Athenians would give up the occupation of Pylos.
		Sparta had gone to war to put an end to Athenian supremacy but the Delian League was still alive; moreover, at Sphacteria it had become clear that Sparta was not invincible.
		For the Spartans: Pleistoanax, Agis, Pleistolas, Damagetus, Chionis, Metagenes, Acanthus, Daithus, Ischagoras, Philocharidas, Zeuxidas, Antiphus, Tellis, Alcindas, Empedias, Menas, and Laphilus.

		She had suffered on the island a disaster hitherto unknown at Sparta; she saw her country plundered from Pylos and Cythera; the Helots were deserting, and she was in constant apprehension that those who remained in Peloponnese would rely upon those outside and take advantage of the situation to renew their old attempts at revolution.
		Besides this, as chance would have it, her thirty years' truce with the Argives was upon the point of expiring; and they refused to renew it unless Cynuria were restored to them; so that it seemed impossible to fight Argos and Athens at once.
		This treaty was made in the spring, just at the end of winter, directly after the city festival of Dionysus, just ten years, with the difference of a few days, from the first invasion of Attica and the commencement of this war.

		However they consented to ratify their former oaths at the request of Nicias, who was afraid that he would return without having settled anything, and would incur the blame of failure, as indeed he did, because he was held to be responsible for the original treaty with the Lacedaemonians.
		When the Athenians learned on his return that the negotiations with Sparta had miscarried, they were furious; and acting under a sense of injustice, entered into an alliance with the Argives and their allies, whose ambassadors were present at the time, for Alcibiades had introduced them on purpose.
		As to the Lacedaemonians, their allies were not hard pressed and did not incur any considerable loss; how many of themselves fell it was hard to ascertain precisely, but their dead are reported to have numbered about three hundred.
