The '''Battle of Amphipolis''' in 422 B.C. was part of the [[Second Peloponnesian War]] between the [[Greek]] [[city states]] of [[Athens]] and [[Sparta]]. Athens had suffered a reversal of fortunes caused by the brilliant Spartan general [[Brasidas]]. [[Cleon]], general for Athens, advanced toward the city of Amphipolis where Brasidas had withdrawn his forces after the arrival of both Cleon and [[Nicias]]. Cleon didn't have adequate security and Brasidas made a surprise attack routing the numerically superior Athenians. Both Cleon and Brasidas were killed during the fighting.
