Imagine that Athens was destroyed after its loss to Sparta. How might our perspective of Ancient Greece be different if this had happened?

If Athens had been destroyed after its loss to Sparta, our perspective of Ancient Greece would be different because all the magnificent history, culture, art, political system, and architecture could have been lost forever, and humanity could have been deprived of the wonderful Athens culture.

Let's have in mind that Athens and Sparta had many conflicts that resulted in the Peloponnesian War. At the end of the war, Sparta defeated Athens.

If Sparta had completely destroyed Athens, then today there would not exist the great Athenian Parthenon, Greek theaters, impressive temples and buildings, and of course, Democracy.

For instance, the Parthenon is the most iconic structure.

The Parthenon is an impressive temple located in Athens, Greece. It is a beautiful temple of white marble, that honored the goddess Athena.

We conclude that if Spartans had destroyed Athens, it had severely impacted the history of humanity, including Democracy. The Peloponnesian War was from 431 to 404 BC.
