Why shouldn't Athens go to war against Sparta?

Protective property covenants state home can not block view of others but does not state a barn can not block others so can you be sued for your barn blocking the view of an owner?

Sure, you can be sued, but the real question is whether you'd lose!

Your local statutes and cases may vary, so you will want the opinion of an attorney in your area. However, in general, a restrictive covenant should be interpreted strictly against whoever wrote it. If they meant to say "building" but said "dwelling" then only a dwelling would violate the covenant, not an office building or a barn. On the other hand, there may have been other "course of dealing" or local customs, or other local laws that would lean toward protection of a view regardless of strict interpretation of the covenant.

For example, if nearly the entire value of a property is tied to the view, then a local court will be reluctant to diminish that value by allowing an encroachment.

In other places, if the zoning ordinance or deed doesn't restrict what can be built, then build whatever you want and let them pay to force you to tear it down, if they have the time and money to do so.

Did the Argos conquer Sparta?

SpartaLord no! Quite the opposite, a spartan force under the command of Leonidas' older half'brother Cleomenes I razed the Argolid force to the ground, wiping them from the main stage. Thebes conquered Sparta after Xerxes I's invasion of 480 BC

The Theban's did not 'conquer' Sparta, nobody did. They defeated them in the Battle of Leuctra, 371 BC (109 years after the Persians failed invasion). Led by Epaminondas, he tactically for the first time ever changed his phalanx. He turned his Phanlanx's weakest point (left side) into it's strongest, allowing his 'stronger' phalanx to clash with Spartan's strong point and a 50 men deep, his phalanx crushed the Spartan's strongest right side. He also staggered the advance of his right phalanx and in doing so by the time his 'strongest' point had broken through and routed the Spartan's strong point his remaining phalanx had advanced to clash with Spartan's, only that the Spartan's were left with no strong point and as the phalanx was broken it failed.

This was the first, last and only time the Spartan's were defeated at full strength and ulitimately led to the entire Spartan demise.
