Official Synopsis
Greece, 431 BCE
In 431 BCE, the culturally-progressive Athenians faced a powerful foe in what became known as the Peloponnesian War.

Yet representing the Old World were the Spartans - a highly militaristic and rigid empire that had established themselves as a dangerous and unstoppable force. The Spartans were determined to use their might and ferocity to take Athens for themselves.
Each side allied itself with other Greek city-states for strength and protection. The balance of power frequently shifted between the Athenian-led Delian League and the Spartan-led Peloponnesian League.
