The Peace of Nicias, also spelled as Peace of Nikias,[1] was a peace treaty signed between the Greek city-states of Athens and Sparta in 421 BCE that ended the first half of the Peloponnesian War.[2] With both sides having been ravaged by the war,[3] a number of great battles that led to great losses for both city-states, and the deaths of the Spartan general Brasidas and Athenian politician Kleon at the Battle of Amphipolis,[4] the two cities pushed for peace.[5]
Sparta was represented by Kings Agis II and Pleistoanax,[6] while Athens was represented by newly-elected general Nicias, who had been championed by Sokrates and others that had held onto Perikles's principles during Kleon's reign.[3] Following extensive negotiations, Athens agreed to release the Spartan prisoners captured after the Battle of Sphakteria,[1] and both sides agreed to return to the way things were prior to the war,[5] and to take a 50-year oath of harmony.[3]
After Aspasia revealed herself to the misthios Kassandra as the Cult of Kosmos' mysterious leader, she said that she would ensure that the "sham of an accord" that was the Peace of Nicias would not last, intent on pushing the Greek world into another war in time for the Cult to control and unite the factions, then evaded Kassandra's attempts to find her.[7] Although the treaty's promised "Fifty-Year Peace" failed just as she hoped, lasting only six years due in large part to Athens' unpopularity among its fellow members in the Delian League,[5] she never reconsolidated the Cult's return to power in time for the Peloponnesian War's second half to end with the Spartans' naval victory at the Battle of Aegospotami and their imposing the oligarchical Thirty Tyrants to rule over Athens.[8]
