Best Answer

Warfare between the Greek cities in Sicily had been going on throughout the Fifth Century BCE.

In a formal lull in the Peloponnesian War, Athens' ambitions led it to try to establish itself in Sicily by supporting Segesta against Syracuse in 416 BCE.

Syracuse destroyed the Athenian expeditionary force.
