They are. And we know that when stories of the losses came to Athens, word went throughout the city. People were discussing what's going to happen to us. They thought back to all the kinds of terrible things they'd done to the cities that they conquered. Is that what's going to happen to us?

Partly why the Spartans don't completely destroy them is a memory of the tremendous service that the Athenians had done during the Persian Wars and a memory of that. I think also it's the case that Sparta is always a bit concerned that places like Corinth and Thebes shouldn't have the entire world to themselves. I think they think of Athens as at least keeping Corinth and Thebes in check.

I think also they think that they don't have to listen to precisely what Corinth and Thebes say. They're not, as it were, the lackeys of Corinth and Thebes.

I mean, Sparta continues, but it's got this problem of Lysander, who is now being worshipped as a god on Samos, has been reorganising Athenian politics. And so there's a real struggle within Sparta about what to what to do in terms of these arrangements that Lysander has made. It's not just Athens he's reorganized. It's Samos.

It's all sorts of islands as he's going back down from the Hellespont, reorganizing their political systems and establishing pro-Spartan governments. There's a real concern that Lysander himself is getting too big for his boots. There's a real problem about what you do with these spectacular generals.

How do you reintegrate them into society, particularly a very hierarchical society like Sparta where you have two kings? It's a very old constitution.

Yes, so the regime of the 30s regarded as perhaps one of the darkest days of Athens, so it's remarkably brutal. They established kind of kill squads to go out and kill any anti-Spartan, pro-democratic forces. They also established kill squads to go out to other cities as well, because it must be remembered that a lot of Athenians escaped Athens.
