Melos
The Athenians believe that Melos must be conquered primarily for strategic and political reasons. They view Melos, a neutral island, as a threat to their influence in the Aegean and a potential ally for their enemies, particularly Sparta. By subjugating Melos, Athens aims to demonstrate its military power, deter other neutral states from opposing them, and secure control over key trade routes. Additionally, the conquest serves to reinforce Athenian dominance in the region and maintain their empire.
Athens sought to conquer Melos primarily for strategic and economic reasons. As a small island in the Aegean Sea, Melos held a significant position for controlling maritime trade routes and expanding Athenian influence. Additionally, Athens aimed to demonstrate its power and deter rebellion among other neutral or potentially hostile states during the Peloponnesian War. The desire for resources and to secure a stronghold in the region further motivated Athenian ambitions towards Melos.
