Many city-states in ancient Greece were jealous of Athens' power and glory, particularly Sparta and its allies. The Athenian empire, bolstered by its naval strength and cultural achievements, threatened the dominance of other states. This rivalry culminated in the Peloponnesian War, where Sparta sought to curtail Athenian influence and restore balance among the Greek city-states. Additionally, smaller city-states often resented Athens for its imperial ambitions and control over the Delian League.
