 Athens only military aspect was its navy, the Athenian army where no match for the Spartans. When Sparta destroyed the Athenian fleet in the attack on Syracuse the war was basically over. Athens, the strongest city-state in Greece prior to the war's beginning, while Sparta became established as the leading power of Greece. The economic costs of the war were felt all across Greece; poverty became widespread in the Peloponnese, while Athens found itself completely devastated, and never regained its prewar prosperity.
