Persians and take back all of Greece
Sparta wants to just keep what Greece has & they are afraid of Athen’s new found power!!!

As restored from copies, Athena probably stood with her weight on her
right leg, and her left leg relaxed. She wore
sandals, a peplos belted
over the overfold, an aegis, and a helmet. A centauromachy was
illustrated on the soles of her sandals, and the
helmet was decorated with griffins and sphinxes.
On the palm of her outstretched right hand
she held a statue of Nike, and in the other she held
a spear. At her feet rested a shield, within which a serpent (representing
Erichthonius) was coiled. The shield was decorated
on the outside with an Amazonomachy, and on
the inside with a Gigantomachy. On the
statue base was illustrated the birth of
Pandora, the progenitor of the race of women.
