On the surface it is a minor battle in the Peloponnesian war, but in fact it was quite significant. It, arguably, turned the tide of the war and marked the first time that a written record was made of a deliberate use of a cavalry reserve in the heat of the battle.

Thespians, that's illegal in 7 states!

Socrates was in the Athenian Army at Delium and remarked himself during the retreat, when he abstained from running. Instead, he stood back to back with Laches ( an Athenian general) and retreated in a composed manner, making the Spartans hunt down those fleeing in disarray while avoiding to engage them. Alcibiades recollected the moment as follows: "Furthermore, men, it was worthwhile to behold Socrates when the army retreated in flight from Delium; for I happened to be there on horseback and he was a hoplite. The soldiers were then in rout, and while he and Laches were retreating together, I came upon them by chance. And as soon as I saw them, I at once urged the two of them to take heart, and I said I would not leave them behind. I had an even finer opportunity to observe Socrates there than I had had at Potidaea, for I was less in fear because I was on horseback. First of all, how much more sensible he was than Laches; and secondly, it was my opinion, Aristophanes (and this point is yours); that walking there just as he does here in Athens, 'stalking like a pelican, his eyes darting from side to side,' quietly on the lookout for friends and foes, he made it plain to everyone even at a great distance that if one touches this real man, he will defend himself vigorously. Consequently, he went away safely, both he and his comrade; for when you behave in war as he did, then they just about do not even touch you; instead they pursue those who turn in headlong flight"

It's difficult to overestimate just how devastating the capture of 120 Spartiates alive at Sphacteria was to Sparta. Sparta's full citizens were by far her most valuable and costly resource, and therefore the ultimate bargaining chip for Athens. Sparta essentially tried to stop everything and go on hands and knees to get them back.

Excellent episode as always - I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I hope you do more videos on the Peloponnesian War - please do Syracuse 415-412, Arginusae 406, Pylos and Sphakteria 425 and Mantineia 418! As a university lecturer on ancient history and a keen scholar of the Peloponnesian War, I do however have some nitpicking to do. Please take this as constructive criticism: - The map at 1:18: The location of classical Pylos is actually to the north of the island of Sphakteria, not to the south - the southern spot on your map is the location of the modern village of Pylos. - Regarding the battle at Pylos and Sphakteria: the Athenians did not capture 420 Spartan warriors; 420 was the number sent to the island, but by the time they surrendered, less than 300 of those remained, the rest having been slain in battle. You got the number of captured Spartiates right, though. - 4:30: The attack on Plataea was not led by Pagondas, and it took place right at the beginning of the war, not in 425. The siege of Plataea was led by the Spartan king Archidamos (at least initially), and ended with the surrender of the city in 429. Pagondas only really emerges as a character just before the battle of Delion. - 4:58: You mention that the plague killed Pericles. That is correct, however you never mentioned him previously in the video, nor do you mention him afterward. The casual viewer likely has no idea who Pericles is; in future, make sure you introduce all the characters properly. Also, we have several original busts of Pericles, which you could have used for the little pic on the flag. - 6:16: Delium [Gr. Delion] is not a border city; it is a sanctuary of Apollo, and should be referred to as "the Delium". It may have had a small sattelite settlement, but certainly not a city. - 8:52: Typo in the speech bubble: Sykion (correct: Sikyon). - 15:23: You missed a great opportunity to mention the Boiotian use of flamethrowers to burn the Athenians out of the Delium - which is a pity! (Though you did at least mention it in the footnotes) - 16:04: Lysander did not lead the Spartan army - he was elected nauarch (admiral) and commanded the fleet. The land army at the end was under the command of the two Spartan kings.

actually it would been very dificult for the greeks to conquer italy or even europe, the main reason is that rome's legions had already broke down the mistery of figthing a phalanx or hoplites formations wich gives you a resolute battle line but they are not very mobile, rome's legions were very very flexible, so they would easily flank the hoplites formations wich in turn gave them a huge advantage, and there were nothing the greeks could do, besides completely changing battle tactics and constantly evolving those tatics and adding auxiliary troops to their regular armies (by that i meant that the roman auxiliary troops holster was huge in comparision to the greek's), that's why the greeks in general were subjugated by rome's military and economic power. it's very intresting the ideia of a united greece under one banner, and to think about how it would have been different, but even than, i think they would not conquer rome. The thing is that rome was indisputably the greatest power of their time, and it was a long time hahahahahhaha, that happened because of their abillity to constantly evolve their military power, tactics and engineering capacity, they were losing the war against hannibal ( and they would lose if the Cartagenian senate had sent the troops hannibal requested) , but scipio turned the tide but adapting to the cartagenian use of elephants, wich was a big problem for the roman legionarie that had to deal with a beast he has never saw before, by doing that he put rome on the ofensive again and the rest is history!

@@arielsantana9258 sorry, but your wall of text is full of errors about tactics and strategy. Romans mostly faced the long spear type phalanx armies after it had gone through some changes. Even so they still lost to Pyrrhus several times.The later armies had elongated the spear too much and didn't train well, had no good horse and hypaspists to complement the long-spear phalanx like in the past. Even the Hoplite armies (short-spear and big shield) could beat the Romans in earlier times. But the main thing is that Rome was a very small power in Alexander's time. It would easily be conquered by Alexander or one of his generals. Italy was populated by Greeks and Samnites mostly so these would easily join or be subjugated first. Romans had Greek blood too, one of the major tribes was Arcadian Greeks, the Pallantium was their city. The Palatine Hill was what it became. So they probably would join the Greek Empire willingly and help subjugate the Samnites and then also the Gauls and Carthage.
