The Greek island of Melos was famously attacked by the Athenians during the Peloponnesian War in 416 BCE. The Athenian forces sought to subjugate Melos, which had remained neutral in the conflict, leading to a brutal siege. After a protracted struggle, the Athenians captured the island, resulting in a significant loss of life and the subjugation of its inhabitants. This event is notably discussed in Thucydides' historical accounts.
