Peloponnesian War.
This Civil War it was deliberately provoked by the Democratic Pericles, a corrupt, slanderous, liar who demanded money from other cities (States) for Alliances. If they didn't give him what he asked for, he made war on them (killed, burned, demolished) and then he said to the Athenians "vote for me to enjoy benefits, if you don't vote for me the Oligarchic Spartans will come and you will lose all of them" which of course were ''BS".
He turned the public's attention to this war to cover his shame (he publicly cheated on his wife) and embezzled public money. The fool started a civil war and from there the total destruction of ancient Greece began, after that it could not recover.
Thucydides, General of Athens, is brutally honest in his assessment that Athens is the villain of this war.
However, Socrates is walking around Athens at the end of the Peloponnesian War.
Then Plato & Aristotle.
And Alexander.
And then Greece will have earned her eternal title as the Foundation of Western Civilization. (Now we are testing how long Western Civ. has survived.)

Nice pipe, good tobacco, and very nice little blue and gold trigger lighter to go along with the other lighter and the matches. This morning here in SE Texas we have 33°F and mostly cloudy skies, with very cold east winds at ~12 mph. East winds can be the coldest here, chill you to the bone.
