Second Battle of Syracuse,414 BC

The Sicilian Expedition was an Athenian military expedition to Sicily, which took place from 415-413 BC during the Peloponnesian War. As the Athenians were preparing to sail home, on August 28, there was a lunar eclipse, and Nicias, an Athenian general and superstitious man, asked the priests what he should do. They suggested the Athenians wait for another 27 days, and Nicias agreed. The Syracusans took advantage of this, and 76 of their ships attacked 86 Athenian ships in the harbor. The Athenians were defeated, many of the ships were pushed on to the shore, and 18 beached ships were captured. Cyclopedia of Universal History by John Clark Ridpath, 1890 (cropped and cleaned).
