Perdiccas immediately broke the treaty and marched to Potidaea, while the Athenians were eventually victorious, the battle (along with the Battle of Sybota) directly led to the Peloponnesian War which would ultimately destroy Athenian hegemony in Greece.
After this altercation, Perdiccas was allied to the Spartans and, in 424, helped the Spartan Brasidas to take Amphipolis from the Athenians, one of her most important colonies, mainly for its ready access to timber for her fleets.
