It shifted over time as did all the Greek city-states. Originally friendly with Sparta, this fell apart 50 years later. Athens also turned the anti-Persian Delian League into an empire of its own, living off it to finance its Golden Age. It fought Thebes, then allied to it, and sided with many other city-states when convenient.

The Greek city-states were never united, they formed shifting alliances. The Peloponnesian War was between two groups, Athens and it's empire and the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. The League won the war, not Sparta. When Athens was defeated, it was stripped of its empire, and became a second rate power. Without the threat of Athens, the city-states began to form other regional alliances which suited their own individual interests and so some of the allies against Athens realigned themselves, with eventually Thebes becoming dominant against a Sparta short on manpower after years of war losses.
