Battle of Cyzicus
The Battle of Cyzicus in 410 BC was a small-scale naval battle during the
Peloponnesian War between an Athenian fleet led by Alcibiades and a Peloponnesian fleet led by
Sparta. Alcibiades led the Athenian fleet to a decisive victory, but the outcome had
little overall effect and the Spartans rebuilt their fleet and placed it under the command of Lysander. Several other sea battles followed, Notium
and Mytilene were
small Spartan wins, Arginusae a large Athenian win, and
finally the Battle of Aegospotami where Lysander
surprised the Athenian fleet and annihilated it.
