jul 1, 406 BC - Battle of Arginusae
Description:
The largest Greek vs Greek battle ever, with 120 Peloponnesian ships against 150 Athenian ships. Athens won, but storms struck the area, meaning Athenian generals couldn't recover their dead. This was seen as sacrilegious, and 6 of the 8 generals were executed, leaving Athens without any naval leadership.Added to timeline:
