==History==
By the time of the Peloponnesian War, Attika was a heavily-trafficked area with Athens as the largest city in Greece. With the conflict pitting Athens-led Delian League against Sparta's Peloponnesian League, the peninsula was at the center of the conflict. The Spartan army set up multiple siege camps along the western approaches to Athens, as well as the Cemetery Road. Despite the threat of this army, Athens and Attika at large remained unconquered for the majority of the conflict.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey
As power shifted between Athens' Delian League and Sparta's Peloponnesian League during the conflict, each side employed a group of mercenaries to aid their causes around the Greek world.Assassin's Creed: Rebellion – For Democracy!Assassin's Creed: Rebellion – Spears for Hire
==Economy==
Prior to the Peloponnesian War, Attika's wealth was based primarily on the silver mining industry set in and around the town of Lavrio. With the dawn of the Delian League, Attika's prosperity shifted to taxation as a principal source of income. In addition to silver, Attika also became famous for exporting the marble quarried from Mount Pentelikos.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Attika: Mt. Pentelikos Village
