In 405 BC, the Athenian navy—the pride of the Delian League—was annihilated at the Battle of Aegospotami. This episode explores the strategic blunders, the Spartan admiral Lysander's cunning, and the betrayal that ended Athens' golden age. We walk through the Hellespont, follow the Athenian fleet's fatal decision to beach at an unwalled beach, and examine the role of Alcibiades' ignored warnings. Aegospotami wasn't just a battle; it was the death knell of Athenian democracy and the twilight of the Peloponnesian War. Along the way, we touch on triremes, the Long Walls, and the Spartan siege that followed. #Aegospotami #PeloponnesianWar #Lysander #Alcibiades #AthenianNavy #Sparta #Athens #AncientGreece #Hellespont #Trireme #DelianLeague #PeloponnesianLeague #Thrace #Conon #BattleOfAegospotami #NavalWarfare #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
