In this crazy civil war in Greece, countless Greeks took up their weapons and resisted to the death, but more Greek troops and even civilians had no idea why they were fighting, because all they killed were

I'm just a Greek. But no matter what, this is what caused Greece to become a hell on earth. There were corpses everywhere in various city-states, and even more corpses of civilians, and even more people trembling and completely

of despair.

The smell of blood permeated the entire Greek Empire, but the Greek high-level officials had no way to do anything about it, because the Spartans would not retreat at all. The Spartans were determined to fight to the death! This was also their Spartan cultural system, and it was also intolerant.

The Athenians would not retreat in any way. The Athenian commander Cleon was actually just a madman, but the civilians and even the top officials in Athens liked this madman. In the past five years, Cleon has indeed

Athens plundered too many resources and wealth through the war, and the plague in the city of Athens had actually been stopped long ago.

It was not until 425 BC that the Athenian navy accepted the order of their supreme commander Cleon and occupied Pylos on the west coast of Messenia and a nearby island called Sphaktilia.

Sparta was completely in trouble. In order to avoid the powerful Athenian maritime fleet, the Spartan king ordered General Brasida to lead an excellent army composed entirely of Spartan warriors.

This led them to cross the Greek peninsula via a trail, go around to the north and attack behind Athens. They also persuaded Athens' allies and brutally attacked Amphipolis, the former Persian Empire.

But at this time, Athens had more resources due to its previous prosperity, so it was not afraid. Furthermore, Commander Creon was not afraid of the Spartans at all, and he had the consciousness to fight the Spartans to the death.

It is precisely this attitude of the two parties that causes this civil war to continue. The Greek high-level officials have repeatedly tried to persuade them to no avail, and they can only watch helplessly as the entire empire continues to be in the flames of war. Countless soldiers die, and countless

The common people cried and were displaced, and the entire Greek empire continued to be enriched by suffocating despair.

Until 422 BC, the Athenian commander Cleon led the army and then faced off with the Spartans in Amphipolis. Soldiers on both sides knew that if they won this battle, the civil war would be over.

Therefore, every soldier on both sides seemed to be completely crazy, frantically slaughtering the so-called enemies in their eyes.

The Athenian coalition forces were not afraid of the Spartans, and the Spartan warriors were even less afraid of the Athenian coalition forces, so they carried out massacres based on the first criteria of maiming, killing, and cripples. At this point on the battlefield, the sound of killing began

Shocking! The corpses were also layered layer after layer. Countless souls could no longer rest in peace because they had not seen the end of the war.

Until the sky seemed to be completely dyed red by the color of blood, and then when the air was completely filled with the smell of blood, the Spartan warriors broke through the layers of defense and killed Cleon, the supreme commander of Athens!

Creon was directly decomposed by the Spartan warriors in the same form, with his intestines exposed and looking very miserable. However! Spartan commander Brasidas was also killed by the Athenians in the rebellion.

! Anyway, the appearance of death is not very good-looking, because no matter how powerful the Spartans are, they are still flesh and blood, not gods.

But now the Athenian army and the Spartan army stopped. They stopped fighting because the commanders of both sides were killed and there was no one to continue to issue orders. So the Athenian army began to rescue their wounded, and the Spartan army

The people also began to rescue their own wounded. Anyway, the atmosphere on the battlefield at this time looked very strange. The two armies, which originally seemed to have revenge for killing their fathers, were silent and cleaning up the battlefield. No one could

A scene of ignoring anyone.

It was precisely because the top commanders of both sides died in battle that the war ended temporarily. Then the Athenian army finally decided to return to Athens, and the Spartan army also decided to return to Sparta.

About a year has passed since this war. In the past year, the whole of Greece has only calmed down for a while. However, the whole of Greece has been severely weakened and it is impossible to develop quickly. Therefore, in the past year, for

The slaves who served in Greece were really tortured, and slaves died on a large scale. Because the slaves were required to quickly replenish resources, the slaves had no more than five hours of rest every day. How cruel is this?

?But according to the laws of nature, everything that can happen is reasonable.

Until this day in 421 BC, Nicias, the leader of the main city of Athens, signed the "Nicias Peace Treaty" with Sparta. The treaty stipulated that the warring parties must withdraw from their respective occupied territories, exchange prisoners of war, and maintain

Fifty years of peace.

At this point, we all may think that the bloody civil war in Greece, which lasted for more than ten years, is finally over? Can civilians finally continue to work conscientiously? Has everything returned to normal in Greece? In fact, that is not true! Because the events that led to the civil war are

The basic contradiction has not been resolved at all, it still exists! Moreover, the Athens Alliance and the Spartan Alliance, in the past ten years of war, have been extremely angry! Both sides are eager to completely peel off the other party's skin and cramps.

As for its meat, how could it end here?

Therefore, the fifty-year peace treaty currently signed is actually a piece of waste paper! This depends on whether Athens tears up this piece of paper first, or whether the Spartans tear up this piece of paper first. But if we take the current

Judging from the situation, the chances of both sides tearing up this piece of waste paper are not very high. Why? Because of the bloody war that lasted for more than ten years, it is strange that there were no losses. Whether it was Athens or Sparta, this itself was a serious loss

To an immeasurable degree, this is why the death of slaves hastened. Whether it is Athens or the Spartans, they first keep hatred in their hearts, and then develop their own military power first, waiting for better things.

What about the timing.

Another thing is that the source of this civil war is actually Sparta and Athens competing for dominance over the entire Greece, as well as the right to foreign war and even the right to slaves, so this kind of hatred is really easy to continue again.

By this time, in the sixth year of the signing of the peace treaty, Athens had recovered some of its strength, and then mobilized 134 triremes, 130 transport ships, 5,100 heavy infantry, and a

A total of 1,300 crossbowmen and a total of about 27,000 people formed an expeditionary force, commanded by the new Athenian commander Alcibiades, and marched towards Sicily, preparing to attack the local area and plunder wealth and resources, and even

Slaves, even colonization.

But a shocking accident happened. The top officials of Athens suddenly ordered Commander Alcibiades to return home immediately for trial. What happened? It turned out that the statue of Hermes in Athens was destroyed, and Commander Alcibiades because

He was what we modern people would call an atheist, and he was not very religious, so he was framed and said to be the commander Alcibiades who destroyed the idols. So the top officials in Athens sentenced Alcibiades to death! This is because,

Although the concept of gods has long been diluted in this era, the foundation of the city-state is still based on the concept of gods, so this situation cannot occur. The high-level judgment of Athens was correct, but Alcibiades was framed.

No matter how Alcibiades explained, it was of no use. It seemed that the evidence was conclusive and there was no way to overturn the verdict. The death penalty was already a certainty. Therefore, the Athenian commander Alcibiades was very angry. He never thought that he

A person with such status could be framed at will, and even sentenced to death without fully investigating the incident. At this point, Alcibiades fled to Sparta in anger.

Alcibiades, who knew all about Athens' tactics, surrendered to Sparta, which changed the war situation between Athens and Sparta. The king of Sparta trusted Commander Alcibiades very much.

, so the Athenian army was severely damaged at Epiporai. The Athenian army suffered countless casualties on the battlefield at Epiporai, which was simply tragic! So it seemed that the Spartans had completely regained the situation.

.

Because Athens had withdrawn its troops out of helplessness, but a lunar eclipse occurred that night after the withdrawal. The Athenian soldiers, who had always believed that the lunar eclipse would bring misfortune, were unwilling to board the ship and retreat. Moreover, some Athenians still remember that the Spartans did not leave until the moon

On a full night, there is absolutely no need to send out the army, because these are the rules set by the gods.

However, the Spartan warriors abnormally seized this opportunity. With a very tough and bloody attitude, they first cut off the Athenians' land routes and completely surrounded the Athenian army. This made the Athenian army

The Athenians were greatly panicked, and they knew very well that fighting Sparta's madmen on land would definitely lead to death, and it was obvious that Sparta's army was well prepared.

So the new commander of the Athenian army proposed to the commander of the Spartan army that there was a fifty-year peace treaty, but the Spartans directly killed the Athenian commander on the spot! This is the situation we talked about before. In fact, the peace treaty

It's just a meaningless piece of paper, because the cause of the conflict has not been resolved at all. Now, both Athens and Sparta have recovered their military strength, and Sparta has gained Athens.

If Commander Alcibiades, an absolute military strategist, said that he would let the Athenian army go now, that would be a real hell!

At this point, the Spartan army fully exerted their superior combat effectiveness on land. It was like chopping vegetables with extremely sharp swords, completely killing the Athenian army on land.

The corpses of Athenians on the entire land were completely piled up into mountains, with broken limbs everywhere, and rivers of blood flowing all over the ground! The extremely pungent smell of blood in the air made people feel like they had fallen into an instant.
