Alcibiades and the main Athenian fleet in inflicting a major defeat on the
Spartan navy commanded by
Mindarus and its supporting
Persian land army near
Cyzicus on the
shore of the
Propontis (
Sea of Marmara). As a result of its victory in the
Battle of Cyzicus, Athens regains control over the vital grain route from the
Black Sea. • Alcibiades installs a garrison at
Chrysopolis under
Theramenes to exact a tithe from all shipping that comes from the Black Sea. This revenue enables the Athenians to put an end to the regime of the Five Thousand and restore their traditional institutions in full.
Democracy is restored in Athens. The new
demagogue Cleophon dismisses peace overtures made by Sparta. • An
Oligarchic revolt in
