Athenian Defeat
 When Athens was defeated, Sparta became the most
powerful city-state in Greece. Sparta even ruled
Athens!
 Despite the bitterness, the Spartans were generous. They
did not level the town as Corinth and Thebes wanted them
to do. Instead, they made Athens a satellite state under a
Spartan oligarchy. It was the end of democracy.
 Ten years later, Sparta gave Athens her independence.
Since her defeat, Athens had regained much of her old
strength. But never again was ancient Athens the golden
city she once was.
