What impact did Aristotle have on ancient Greece?
In most of the ancient world, strong fighters won all the glory. But in Athens, great thinkers and wise men were honored. People listened to them and followed their advice. Even today, people admire the ideas of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Their teachings are at the root of modern philosophy and science.
When the peloponnesian war happened?
The Peloponnese is the almost-an-island southern part of Greece connected to the rest of Greece by the Isthmus of Corinth. Because Sparta was located on this part of Greece, and because its history was written by an Athenian, I am guessing that is why it is still called the Peloponnesian War. If it had been written by a Spartan, we would probably know it as the Attican War, because Attica is where Athens was located.
The best thing that I can suggest for you to do is go online and find a war map of the Peloponnessian War which will show the areas of operation and major battles, not all of which were fought in Greece. The siege of Syracuse, for example, took place in Sicily.
