The city was invested, which confined them to the city and rendering them unable to provide food by farming. They used their superior fleet to bring in food and to raid and threaten their opponents' home cities. The Peloponnesian League concentrated on destroying the fleet. This was eventually promoted by the Persians providing money to build a superior fleet, which defeated the Athenian fleet, isolating the city. They then rounded up the overseas Athenian garrisons and sent them back to the city to help eat the sparse food and accelerate surrender of the city.
