Ancient Greece

Battle of Aegospotami

405 BC
Aegospotami, Hellespont (Present-Day Çanakkale Province, Turkey)

However, in 405 BC the Spartan Lysander defeated Athens in the Battle of Aegospotami, and began to blockade Athens' harbor; driven by hunger, Athens sued for peace, agreeing to surrender their fleet and join the Spartan-led Peloponnesian League.
