Battle of Aegospotami Athens lost the Peloponnesian War after being defeated in the battle of Aegospotami. In the naval battle, Sparta destroyed the Athenian fleet, which Athens could not afford to rebuild. In the summer of 405 BCE , Lysander , the Spartan commander, brought the Peloponnesian fleet into the Dardanelles Strait, which is a small area of water located between two sides of land. The Athenian fleet had of 180 triremes (oarpowered warships), which took up a position on the shore at Aegospotami, about three nautical miles away, and sought to engage Lysander in a naval battle. When he repeatedly refused, the Athenians found themselves in a predicament because of the lack of provisions at Aegospotami. Athenian politician Alcibiades visited the Athenian camp and recommended moving the fleet, 10 nautical miles to the southwest, where supplies were available, but both he and his advice were coldly received. The Athenians tried for five successive days to engage Lysander in battle; each day, Lysander stayed in the harbor but sent ships to spy on the Athenians. On the fifth day, after the Athenians had returned to Aegospotami and were foraging for food, Lysander attacked unexpectedly and caught the Athenians off guard. He captured almost all their ships on the beach except for nine triremes, which brought news of the disaster to Athens. Very few of the Athenian triremes made it home, and the Athenians had no means to build a new fleet. Besieged by land and sea and unable to import food, the Athenians finally came to terms in the spring of 404 BCE to end the Peloponnesian War. Battle of Arginusae The Battle of Arginusae, a large naval fight, pitted one Greek fleet against another during the Peloponnesian War . While Athens defeated Sparta, the Athenian generals were executed after their victory. In the spring of 406 BCE , Athens was trapped a harbor, but they managed to get word of this problem to Athens. In 30 days, Athens prepared a fleet of 110 ships, which was paid for by melting down gold statues from the Acropolis ; to man the oars they recruited everyone of military age..The fleet numbered more than 150 triremes (oarpowered warships). Callicratidas left 50 triremes at Mytilene to maintain the blockade and with 120 ships sailed south to intercept the new fleet. The two fleets met near the coast of Asia Minor . The Athenian fleet was larger, but the Athenian crews were less experienced than those of the Peloponnesian fleet. The accounts of the battle itself are unclear and do not adequately explain why the Athenians won. The turning point came with the death of the Spartan commander Callicratidas, when he fell into the water and disappeared after his ship rammed another is generally accepted. The Athenians won a solid victory: their enemies lost at least 70 of 120 triremes, while the Athenians lost only 25 ships. The Spartans abandoned their blockade of Conon, who was then free to join the rest of the Athenian fleet. For a period after the battle, the Peloponnesian naval forces in the Aegean Sea were too weak to challenge the Athenians. Either for failing to rescue the Athenians on the sinking ships after the battle, or for failing to bury the Athenian dead, the eight victorious generals were removed from office and put on trial. Victims of demagoguery, the six generals who had returned to Athens were condemned to death. Battle of Cyzicus The Battle of Cyzicus in 410 BCE was the greatest Athenian naval victory of the Peloponnesian War . In 411, the Spartans brought their fleet into a Strait near Athens and encouraged revolts among Athens' restless allies in the area. That action threatened Athens with the loss of both revenue and access to grain from the northern part of Asia Minor . With the help of the Persia the Spartan admiral named Mindarus captured Cyzicus (located at the head of the Gulf of Erdek) in about March 410. The Athenians assembled a fleet of 86 triremes (oarpowered warships) under the command of Alcibiades . They landed a force of soldiers, with orders to march on the city. The naval battle began when Alcibiades approached the harbor of Cyzicus with part of the fleet, probably 40 triremes, to lure (set a trap for) Mindarus. Mindarus pursued him with a superior force, probably 80 triremes. At a signal from Alcibiades, the other ships emerged from behind and blocked Mindarus' return to the harbor. Mindarus then landed and began capturing land. The fighting on land took place at two locations. Despite being outnumbered, the Athenians prevailed in both locales. Mindarus was killed in the fighting, the Peloponnesian and Persian forces fled, and the Athenians regained control of the land. The entire Peloponnesian fleet was captured or destroyed. An intercepted Spartan dispatch after the battle summed up the Spartans' predicament: "The ships are lost. Mindarus is dead. The men are starving. We don't know what to do." The Spartans offered to make peace, but the Athenians spurned the proposed terms. Over the next two years, the Athenians were able to exploit their victory at Cyzicus to subjugate their rebellious allies in the region one by one without facing any significant enemy navy.
