during the greeco-persian war...
Athens and its allies and Sparta and its allies.
No city won. The Sparta alliance with Persian backing defeated the Athens alliance or empire.
The war was not a contest for control of Greece, it was between the Athenian alliance/empire and the Spartan-led Peloponnesian alliance. Athens was taking its power too far and the Peloponnesian League drew a line in the san which Athens ignored, bringing on the war.
It was a war between Athens and its allies and Sparta and its allies - the latter tried to control the expansionary efforts of the Athenian empire. It lasted from 431 BCE to 404 BCE, when Persian financial intervention swung the war in favour of the Spartan alliance, resulting in the capture of Athens.

the persians
The Persians
The Persians
Persian Empire.
Athens and Sparta .
As Greeks, their cultures were very similar. Their alliance was for self interest - Sparta aided Athens, and Athens reciprocated.
It was based on 180 city-states in Asia Minor and the Islands which banded together against the Persian Empire under the leadership of Athens. When the Persian threat was resolved, opportunistic Athens converted it into an empire of its own.
