AEgospotami

AEgospotami, a small river in the Thracian Chersonesus, falling into the Hellespont near Sestos, having a town on its banks. The Athenians under Conon were severely defeated here (405 B.C.) by the Lacedaemonians under Lysander, and one consequence of this disaster was the capture of Athens and the conclusion of the Peloponnesian War.
