Initially Athens which had led the Greeks in the second half of the wars, and when peace was arranged, turned the Greek coalition, which it led, into an empire of its own. It used this to try to dominate the Greek world, but over-reached itself and was defeated and stripped of it empire, leaving Sparta as dominant power until Thebes displaced it.
