Notes on the current edition

On the Peace with Sparta

1. The famous Megarian decree which excluded Megara from the markets of Attica and the ports of the Athenian empire was passed in 432. It brought Peloponnesian discontent to a head, and the Archidamian War followed (431- 421). See Thuc. 1.139 .
2. In 421 B.C. It was a Fifty Years’ Peace; but in 420 Athens allied herself with Argos , Elis , and Mantinea, who were aggressively anti-Spartan. By 418 she was at war again.
