A lot happens this episode. Athens continues to butt heads with everyone, including Persia, Sparta, Corinth, Epidauros, Aegina, and many others. Towards the beginning of the time frame of this episode the Athenian boldly agree to an Egyptian Expedition to try and assist a rebellion in Persian Egypt. Many isolated conflicts take place across Hellas (Greece) as well, leading to the end of the Pentekontaetia (ca. 435 BCE) and the beginning of the Disputes of Epidamnus and Corcyra that kick off the political turmoil that eventually causes the Peloponnesian War, 431-404 BCE.
