Why might it be said that all Greeks were losers in the peloponnesian war?

It was a war between leagues of Greek city-states, the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta versus Athens and its empire the Delian League. Athens lost after its naval supremacy was undermined by the Persian Empire providing the funds to the Peloponnesians to build a competitive fleet. Athens was defeated in the sea battle of Aigospotamai, its city besieged and starved into submission.

∙ 6y agoAthens' strategy was to defend their city and port from Peleponnesian siege, and send out its navy to harass the home cities of the Peloponnesians with its superior navy. Athens could also use its sea power to import food, so a siege could not starve it out.
Late in the 27-year war, the Persians bankrolled a strong Peloponnesian navy which defeated the Athenian navy, then besieged the city which could now could not import food, and so was starved into surrender.

The Greeks did not actually influence Roman religion. The Greeks and Romans worshiped the same major gods only under different names. The same can be said of other cultures.
