"What good thing did you do for Sparta". That was the question Spartans asked Plateans before kill them in that farce trial. How easily Greeks forget.... In order to not disappoint their Theban allies, they did not respect Platea as sacred ground and all that Plateans offered in Greco-Persian wars. Notably the Thebans fought for Persians a few years back in the battle of Platea.

@chessmastertactics6929 Год назад

Great video but a small correction is needed. As a fellow Greek i know of the events well: the town of Platea was rebuild by its citizens after the Peloponnesian War but the Thebans destroyed it again after their victory at Leuctra in 371 BC and took their lands which made Athens bitterly disappointed with the Thebans. They then lost at the battle of Chaeronea in 338 against Phillip of Macedon and at the sack of Thebes by the forces of Alexander the Great the Plateans took their revenge and later rebuilt their town with the blessings of the Hellenic League

As a history professor you must know 2000 years ago the greeks didnt had forests ! Where did they getted the wood to make a pallisade ??? A big pat of this story realy happend , but not the pallisade part . Even IF they had the manpower to realise this there was no wood available, Greece was most of the time mountens and farmland . And for this reason battles where always been foght on the same territories, Because a rocky terrain could brake a phalanx...

@@peterderidder9922 Search up Ancient Greek siege warfare and that should suffice; There were quite a few innovations on that front, though not all were successful, for example look up helepolis siege engine. Greece is rocky, yes, but its not some kind of arid hellhole, it had and has a typical mediterranian climate, the existance of forest can easily be seen by the mythology of the Ancient Greeks which frequently mentions Forests and lesser gods and goddesses living in them. I must admit im very flabbergasted by this claim, you seem to have a very skewed notion of the Greek climate. Besides how did they makes so many ships if wood wasnt available, not to mention that the population of the time was much smaller and thusly in need of much less resources anyhow.

The best thing to do at certain points in history when besieging a city... is don't kill anyone, just surround them. Maybe get fires & other destructive events to occur - such as praying for earthquakes, alongside holing up outside of the city & securing supply lines. Essentially destroy their food & shelter to whatever extent possible... and don't kill anyone, you're just going to force them to perform more sorties or have them happen earlier, which might provide you with the chance to kill such a number of them that you then can storm the city.

This war was the beggining of the end for the powerfull Greek city states of Athens and Sparta. The end of the war found both cities exchausted and unable to resist to Thebes and latter to Macedon. Lack of Panhellenic vision condamned the Greeks forced to unite latter on by Phillip of Macedon..Such a pity.
