First sentence: In the last quarter of the fifth century B.C. (431-404) the Athenians and their allies fought a terrible and devastating war, at first against the Spartans and their allies, chiefly from the Peloponnesus, but ultimately also against many of their own rebellious allies and the almost unlimited financial resources of the Persian Empire of the Achaemenids as well.
