A peace was arranged between Persia and the Greek cities under which Persia agreed to stay away from the Greek cities in Asia Minor and left the Greek to pursue their usual wars against each other.
Athens then converted the alliance of these cities (Delian League) which it had led against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own. It used this power to interfere in the affairs of the other Greek city-states outside its empire, coming into collision with the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. The Peloponnesian War lasted 27 years and devastated the Greek world, and was decided in favour of the Peloponnesian League with the help of Persia.
Athens was stripped of its empire and became a second-rate power.
