Best Answer

He established a dual policy of defence and aggression. The long walls defended the city from attack, and provided access to the sea to import food when under siege, and to send out amphibious attacks against the home cities of attackers/besiegers. This lasted only until opponents were able to get (with Persian money) a navy which could defeat the Athenian navy, then starve the isolated city into submission in 404 BCE.
