Athens lost, was stripped of its empire and became a second rate power. Sparta was the leading city for the next 30 years until displaced by Thebes.

Who did Israel help in the Peloponnesian War?
At the time of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE) Israel was under control of the Persian Empire, and so in no position to intervene in any of the Greek wars, not that it would have had any reason to meddle in Greek affairs anyway.

What long term effect did the Persian war have on ancient Greece?
It established Peraia as a bogeyman, and eventually when the Persian Empire was conquered by Macedonia, Alexander the Great incorporated a veneer of Greek culture into them.

Athens turned the Delian League which had opposed the Persian Empire into an empire of it own. When Athens became embroiled in the Peloponnesian War against the Peloponnesian League, Persia had its revenge by helping the Peloponnesians led by Sparta to defeat Athens and strip it of its empire.

What happened to Greek city states after the Peloponnesian war?
