The Battle of Melos was fought in 415 BC between Athens and Melos. Melos had attempted to remain neutral in the Peloponnesian War, but Athens attacked and forced Melos to surrender. All Melian males capable of bearing arms were killed, and the women and children became slaves. The Melian dialogue which reportedly preceded it is found in a passage found in Book V (85-113) of the History of the Peloponnesian War by the ancient Greek historian Thucydides.

  • La bataille de Mélos a lieu en -415 entre Athènes et Mélos. L'île de Mélos voulait rester neutre dans la guerre du Péloponnèse, mais Athènes l'a attaqué et l'a forcé à se rendre. Tous les hommes en âge de porter les armes furent exécutés, les femmes et les enfants étant vendus comme esclaves. L'île vidée de sa population sera ensuite colonisée par Athènes. Thucydide raconte cette bataille dans son Histoire de la guerre du Péloponnèse.
