Editing 404 BC (section)

==== Greece ====
* The Athenian leader [[Cleophon (politician)|Cleophon]] continues to urge resistance against the [[Peloponnesia]]ns, but the situation becomes desperate and he is arrested, condemned to death and executed.
* [[Athens]], full of refugees and weakened by plague and [[hunger]], capitulates and the [[Peloponnesian War]] ends.
* [[Theramenes]] secures terms that save the city of Athens from destruction. The [[History of Sparta|Sparta]]ns allow Athens to retain its independence. However, Athens loses all its foreign possessions and what is left of its fleet and is required to become an ally of Sparta. The [[Long Walls]] around Athens are pulled down. Greek towns across the [[Aegean Sea]] in [[Ionia]] are again the subjects of the [[Achaemenid Empire|Persian Empire]].
* The Spartan general, [[Lysander]], puts in place a puppet government in Athens with the establishment of the [[oligarchy]] of the "[[Thirty Tyrants]]" under [[Critias]] and including Theramenes as a leading member. This government executes a number of citizens and deprives all but a few of their rights.
* Many of Athens' former allies are now ruled by boards of ten (decarchy), often reinforced with garrisons under a Spartan commander ([[Harmost]]).
* The Athenian general [[Thrasybulus]] is exiled by the Thirty (the oligarchy of Athens), and he retires to [[Thebes, Greece|Thebes]].
* A split develops between Theramenes and Critias who has Theramenes killed (by drinking poison) on charges of treason.
* Emerging after the Spartan victory at [[Aegospotami]], the former Athenian leader, [[Alcibiades]], takes refuge in [[Phrygia]] in northwestern [[Asia Minor]] with the Persian [[satrap]], [[Pharnabazus (5th century BC)|Pharnabazus]], and seeks their assistance for the Athenians. The Spartans discover his plans and arrange with Pharnabazus to have him assassinated.
* Lysander sails to [[Samos]] and conquers it for Sparta.
