In the 4th Century BC/BCE, Sparta's victory over Athens in the thirty-year-long Peloponnesian War may be attributed to several factors. One of the most important was the ability of Sparta to persist through numerous adversities, while its diplomatic skills was also one of the key factors. Just as important was the unwillingness of Athens to compromise on complete victory: given several chances to end the war with partial victory in hand, it chose instead to pursue (pridefully, as it were) an even greater prize.
