Various fates - eg the ones talen prisoner at Syracuse were sold into slavery or died in a prison pen in a quarry; the wealthy were sometimes ransomed; some escaped; those taken at the final sea battle at Aigospotomai had their throats cut as they had bragged beforehand that they would cut off the hands of all the opposing sailors.
