Each headed leagues of cities. Athens was confident of its defences, resources of its empire and sea power. Sparta was confident of its league's land power.

Athens intruded into the affairs of the Peloponnesian League, and refused to back away. War ensued. Neither expected the limited disputes to expand into a 27-year war which devastated the Greek world.
