Labdakos to Lethe Leto to Lysizonos
The protective wall built by Perikles (Pericles) which extended from the city of Athens to the port city of Piraeus.
The Long Wall was an aggressive project and was clearly a defensive measure against the threatening military might of Sparta; after the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE), the Spartans demolished part of the Long Wall so that they could have access to Athens if the Athenians showed any sign of resistance to Spartan hegemony.
