The Conclusion of a Grecian Civil War: The Peloponnesian War and Democracy Restored

Sparta has the ultimate victory over Athens. Through the victory, the Spartans established a Tyrannical rule called the Thirty Tyrants over the Athenians. However, in 403 BC, an Athenian general, Thrasybulus, reintroduces democracy over the Athenian people. The reimplementation of Athenian democracy was that of an ideological triumph. It demonstrated the people of Athens preference, but to continue this preservation implores of leaders committed to unity amongst Athens people and his moral and egotistical standings.
