Official Synopsis
Greece, 431 BCE
In 431 BCE, the culturally-progressive Athenians faced a powerful foe in what became known as the Peloponnesian War.
The Athenians, living off their past successes, were the face of the New World. 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.
