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.

Yes. There's a little bit of mopping up that needs to do. Samos needs to be sorted out, which is what they do.

Athenian ally at this point. In fact, Lysander is actually worshipped as a god on Samos. He's famously declared to be the first living person who's worshipped as a god, and a festival, the Lysandreia, is established. But Lysander heads to Athens. At this point, the allies of Sparta, particularly Corinth and Thebes, are baying for Athenian blood. They want the city wiped out.

Oh yes, yes, easily. Importantly, Lysander is the person who doesn't decide to do that. He establishes that they will, of course, have to pay some penalties. They must be neutralized militarily. Their navy's been destroyed. He ensures that their walls are torn down.

And also the walls around the city as well. So the long walls are the walls that go down to the Piraeus, the harbor, and then the city walls as well. These are all torn down, leaving the city exposed, unable to defend itself. More importantly, he establishes a pro-Spartan, effectively, junta to rule Athens.
