Cascoly Books - Peloponnesian War - Donald Kagan |
|
The Peloponnesian War was in large part the struggle between the
Athenian Empire [ democratic, but including both slavery and subjugation of an
extended collection of 'allies' for tribute and resources] versus the
Spartan league [ dominated by oligarchies with a feudal basis]. The final
result of this long war was to weaken both antagonists and undermine their
political systems. Coming immediately after this war, The Trial of Socrates
by I.F. Stone places the writings of Plato in the context of
Plato's and Socrates' support for oligarchy rather than democracy.
