This illustration dating to about 1900 shows the Greeks battling the Sicilians in the struggle known as the Sicilian Expedition, an expedition by the Athenians from 415 to 413 , at the same time the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta was going on. The expedition's primary proponent was Alcibiades. Alcibiades was recalled to Athens, perhaps on false charges, and the expedition faltered, ending in utter defeat.
