The Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.) took
place between the Athenian empire and
Peloponnesian league lead by the Spartans. The
Peloponnesian league was a coalition of the
Thebes, Corinth and Sparta.
The war was divided into 3 phases: The
Archidamian War, The Sicilian war and The
Ionian or Decelean War: phase. The war
commenced on 4 April 431 B.C. when the
Thebans launched a surprise attack on Plataea,
who as a partner of Athens. The war ended on
25 April 404 B.C. when Athens surrendered.
The Peloponnesian War remodeled the entire
Greek state. The Athenian empire, which was a
stronger side prior to the war, was reduced to a
mere vulnerable slave of Sparta. After the war,
Sparta was the ruling state of Greece. The war
destroyed the economies and brought poverty
and sufferings to the state. Athens could never
gain its lost prosperity that it was proud of, prewar.

Olympics
The games at Olympia were greatly expanded from a
one-day festival of athletics and wrestling to, in 472
BC, five days with many events. The order of the
events is not precisely known, but the first day of the
festival was devoted to sacrifices. On the Middle Day
of the festival 100 oxen were sacrificed in honor of a
God. Athletes also often prayed and made small
sacrifices themselves. On the second day, the foot-race,
the main event of the games, took place in the stadium,
an oblong area enclosed by sloping banks of earth. At
Olympia there were 4 different types of races; The first
was stadion, the oldest event of the Games, where
runners sprinted for 1 stade, the length of the
stadium(192m). The other races were a 2-stade race
(384 m.), and a long-distance run which ranged from 7
to 24 stades (1,344 m. to 4,608 m.).The fourth type of
race involved runners wearing full amor, which was 24 stade race (384 m. to 768 m.), used to build up speed
and stamina for military purposes.
On other days, wrestling, boxing, and the pancratium, a
combination of the two, were held. In wrestling, the
aim was to throw the opponent to the ground three
times, on either his hip, back or shoulder. In ancient
Greek wrestling biting and genital holds were illegal.

The Greeks believed in many gods that they
worshiped so that they would protect them.
Each god represented something different
and there was some what of an order of the
gods. Head of all gods was Zeus, Apollo
Sun god, Poseidon god of the seas, and
Athena goddess of wisdom. These are only
some of the many gods but these were
some of the top ones of importance that
they worshiped. The gods were a part of
everyday life for most Greeks.
