Peloponnesian Wars (460 - 404 b.c.)
 
Date(s):   460 - 404 b.c.
 
Description:  
      Includes both the First Peloponnesian War (460-445 bc) and the Second or Great Peloponnesian War (431-404 bc). These wars between Greek city-states featured Athens and her allies on one side and Sparta and her allies on the other.
