Athens and its allies/empire and Sparta and its allies.
The war was between Athens and Sparta, city-states of ancient Greece. Athens and Sparta engaged in a long and costly struggle, the Peloponnesian war (431-404 BC) and the more martial society, Sparta, eventually triumphed.

We call it the Peloponnesian War today because it was between the Athenian Empire and the Peloponnesian League, of which Sparta was a member and leader. At the time, they referred to it the war between Sparta and its allies and Athens and its allies.
