  4. Path of the Athenian armada to Sicily, 415 BCE Sicilian Sea Demarcation of Syracusan / Athenian spheres of influence

  5. Issues to consider • What were the arguments made by Nicias and Alcibiades about launching the expedition? What were the complications involved in the expedition? • What mistakes did the Athenians make? What might they have done differently to succeed?

  6. Spring 413: Sparta resumes the war, fortifies the Attic deme of Decelea and sends reinforcements to Sicily under Gylippus

  7. Battle of Syracuse, 413 BCE Athenian retreat, 413 BCE

  8. Topic for debate What do we do now that the expedition has failed? do we sue for peace with Sparta or maintain the war? do we prosecute the survivors, especially when the leaders of the expedition (Nicias and Demosthenes in particular) have been killed?
