In particular, it's around the Hellespont. He happens to observe the way in which the Athenian fleet is behaving in the Hellespont. In particular, he notices that they tend to pull up their ships at a certain spot, and they also tend to take their meals quite regularly at a certain spot. He realizes this is going to be a huge point of vulnerability.

Interestingly, Alcibiades also recognized the way in which the Athenian fleet was vulnerable and comes down to the Athenian fleet from his castle.

He comes down and says, look, this is a bad idea what you're doing. Of course, they shoo him away. Turns out to be right, of course. Anyway, Lysander manages to capture the Athenian fleet, essentially by surprise. The 180 or so ships that constitute the Athenian fleet at this point are captured by Lysander, and at this point it's game over.

That's right. This is at Aegis Potamai, and this is essentially game over for the Athenians. On the back of their tremendous success at Argonousae, full of false confidence, retreat. The fleet goes back to the Hellespont. A little while later, Lysander comes along with his new powerful fleet, recognizes what the Athenians are doing, captures them at Aegis Potamai.

About 3,000 Athenian soldiers, 180 ships, only about 10 ships escape. So it's a complete route for the Athenians.

Yeah, absolutely. And it's a brutal, brutal loss. I mean, Lysander slaughters all the Athenian naval people. And this is terrible. I mean, he captures them, they debate about what to do with them, and the fleet is eager for blood. They start reciting all the kinds of war crimes that the Athenians had committed.

In particular, one that they keep coming back to is the time that some Athenians seized a Corinthian ship and essentially threw all the Corinthian soldiers and sailors overboard and let them drown. And so it's in memory of these kinds of atrocities that the Athenians have committed that no mercy is given to the Athenian soldiers and the Spartans slaughtered them all.
