Not a pretty conclusive naval battle, but certainly one in which the Spartans managed to capture about 20 or so Athenian ships. And this is, in fact, where we start to see Alcibiades' star wane.

So after the Battle of Nution, Athens has realized that, in fact, all the promises that Alcibiades was making about being able to get Persia on their side, about being able to hold back the Spartans, just haven't been true. Alcibiades can see the writing on the wall, so he flees again. This time he has a castle in the Hellespont, so he flees off to his castle in the Hellespont and hangs out there.

Then what we see is increasingly the might of the Spartan fleet. The Spartans managed to do some really good things. They blockade the Athenian fleet in the harbor at Lesbos, and this would have been again, the end of Athens had Athens not been very lucky in some ways to be able to defeat them nearby at the place called Argonousai Islands.

This is a surprise victory, I think, in some ways for the Athenians.

Yes. And look, I think that's why Notium matters so much. It's because it's not a huge Spartan victory, but the fact that it is a victory is, I think, hugely damaging to Athenian psychology. And that's, I think, why the dissatisfaction with Alcibiades is so strong.

Yes, so the Argonous Islands are a small group of islands off the island of Lesbos. The Athenian fleet is in some ways blockaded into the main harbour at Lesbos by the Spartans. So a small fleet is sent out and they manage to lure the Spartan fleet away and are successful. in freeing the Athenian fleet and also defeating the Spartans as well.

So it's a very clear Athenian victory that saves the majority of the Athenian fleet. Now, it's also a kind of extraordinary battle because it has this amazing aftermath as well, which is that just at the end of the battle, a storm comes up and the generals make the strategic decision
