'''Attika''' is a historical region and peninsula in [[Greece]], projecting into the [[Aegean Sea]]. It encompasses the city of [[Athens]], which served as the captital city and was the center of the [[Peloponnesian War]] against the [[Peloponnesian League]] led by [[Sparta]].
 
During the [[Peloponnesian War]], with Athens as the largest city in Greece, it was a heavily-trafficked area. With the conflict pitting Athens' [[Delian League]] against the city-state of [[Sparta]], the peninsula was the central battleground of the war.<ref name="ACOd site" />
