Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the history of ancient civilizations and Ancient Greece continues with the first episode of our series on the Peloponnesian War, as we see how Athens and Sparta leading the Delian and Peloponnesian Leagues in one of the most brutal wars the ancient Hellenes fought. In the first video we talked about why and how the war started and described the siege of Potidaea in 432 BC (https://youtu.be/2lr8yAfjcDA). The second episode talked about the siege of Plataea of 429-427 BC (https://youtu.be/iI5Gp9Eyo-c), while the third concentrated on the Battle of Pylos of 425 BC (https://youtu.be/GhQufEEzYdA). The battle of Amphipolis 422 BC ended the Archidamian War with the Peace of Nicias (https://youtu.be/zWIfw5kzpBE), but this was hardly the end as both the Athens and Sparta were eager to square off again, leading to the battle of Mantinea. We also talked about the famous Melian Dialogue, which is very important for the understanding of the ancient Greek thought (https://youtu.be/8YxcWZCs9JY). The lull in the war was followed by the Sicilian Expedition - possibly the greatest military disaster of Antiquity (https://youtu.be/Aq0ReVZ92Ac), and fearing the strengthening of Athens, Persians of the Achaemenid Empire started to support the Spartans financially.
