Did ancient Athenians fight in wars?

Answer 1

Yes the athenians did they faught in the first and second Persian wars and the also fought the Spartans which led to their downfall because they got the plague and then the Spartans beat them and destroyed them so they fought in three recorded wars and they could have possibly been in the Trojan war but that itself is a myth.

Addition:

The Greek world was in a state of constant warfare between the several hundred city-states which existed. Much the same as today, when hardly a year goes past without a war somewhere in the world. That's the nature of mankind.

These wars were fought between cities, sometimes combinations into leagues, sometimes individually. Most were Greeks versus Greeks, but sometines against othe peoples, either to invade or oppose invasion. Athens was a regular participant in all this.

So yes, ancient Athenians fought in many wars. All property owners were required to be part of the Athenian army as armoured warriors, and the non-propertied ones who could not afford armour were drafted as auxiliaries - light infantry and missile men.
