What kind of man was Alexander and what influence did he have on the Spartan navy?

Lysander changed from an unknown person to a naval general in Sparta, and made outstanding contributions to ending the Peloponnesian War as soon as possible and stopping the destruction of the war to the Greek world by using his superhuman wisdom. However, after the war, his ambition was exposed. In order to establish Spartan hegemony, he exercised oligarchy over the Greek city-states in Aegean Sea and Asia Minor, which also brought disaster to the city-states in these areas. Even in Sparta, Lysander's control of kingship was unfavorable, and he had the idea of usurping the throne. Therefore, what Lysander did all his life had a great influence on the Greek world.

First of all, Lysander's influence on the Spartan navy is to analyze Lysander's influence on the Spartan navy, which is the key for Sparta to win the Peloponnesian War. As we all know, the reason why Sparta won the initiative in the later period of the war was closely related to the improvement of Sparta's naval strength, which in turn was closely related to Lysander.

First, and most importantly, he won the trust of Kurus and successfully formed an alliance with Persia, which helped Sparta win the war to a great extent. Thucydides once wrote that when Perikles measured the strength of both sides of the war, he thought that Athens had no elite warriors of Sparta, but Athens had a huge amount of gold coins. In this regard, Spartan King Akita Mas also holds the same view, and the team with rich experience and excellent technology may not be able to win this protracted war. War is more about money and phone bills than people? .

It turns out to be true. Although Athens had many advantages, Persia made up for the shortage of funds in Sparta, which was of great significance to Sparta and Athens, where manpower, material resources and financial resources were about to dry up. Because of the Persian financial and personnel support to Sparta, the balance of victory suddenly turned to Sparta.

Second, Lu Shande used Persian funds to build a powerful Spartan navy, which enabled Sparta, who had always been good at land warfare, to enter the field of land warfare and attracted experienced radial hands with high salaries, thus making the Spartan naval fleet grow rapidly. For example, by the time of the Yanghekou War in 406 BC, Sparta had a powerful fleet of 180 warships, which was unprecedented in the history of Sparta.

Third, Lysander constantly strengthened naval training and strict military discipline, which made the Spartan navy show the noble quality of keeping up with the crisis and strictly obeying the orders of its superiors. For example, in the battle of ideas, the Athenian navigator Anticus dared to violate the orders of Alkki Biades and attack Lysander without authorization. In contrast, Sparta, under the leadership of Lysander, kept the crisis in order.

Fourthly, excellent naval generals appeared in Sparta in the later period of the war, and their superb command ability greatly improved the strength of Sparta's navy, including Lysander and Kalikratida. Lai Shande makes good use of it? Stalling tactics? And then what? Raid tactics? He is good at grasping the enemy's weaknesses, amplifying the enemy's unfavorable conditions, and then exerting his own advantages to win the war in one fell swoop, just as he did in the battle of ideas and the battle of Yanghekou. His excellent command ability is also an indispensable key to winning the war. In contrast, Athens lost such an excellent commander as Alkki Biades in the later period, which made Athens lose its advantage as a war commander and made it easier for Sparta to finally win the war.

Second, the personality analysis of Lai Shande In addition, the author points out that Lai Shande's personal behavior is influenced by his specific personality.

There is an admirable side to Lysander's character.

As an organizer and diplomat, his performance was almost perfect. Among them, his humble attitude touched the little prince of Persia and promoted the alliance; He calmly responded to the war situation, calmly and carefully guided and won the war; He is bold and cautious, not confused by the enemy, keeps clear logic, constantly monitors and understands the enemy's situation. Therefore, Lysander's performance in war and diplomacy is almost perfect.

But he also has a heinous side.

First of all, treacherous and cunning. Since the Miletus Revolution, he has deceived the Democrats, being friendly to them on the surface, but secretly planning to catch them all. Democrats were deceived by his lies and brutally killed by him. He also laughed at those honest and upright people who would not use lies to achieve their goals.

Second, cruel and tyrannical. From the way Athens treated prisoners of war, we can see that he was cruel and tyrannical. He established oligarchy, sent troops to the city-states of Asia Minor, and constantly used force to exclude dissidents. This shows that Lysander was cruel and tyrannical.

Third, greed, dishonesty and hypocrisy. His greed, dishonesty and ambition can be seen from conspiring with the Oracle to usurp the throne. He is not satisfied with what he has got at all. His aim is to establish the hegemony of the whole Aegean Sea.

Of course, he will not let go of the position of Spartan king. Ambitious, he thought that all people with outstanding military exploits and advantages were qualified to be kings, so he tried his best to fabricate lies and use immortals to play tricks on everyone, but he was finally exposed.

Besides, his indifference to money after the war showed his hypocrisy. Just like Plutarch said? As far as Lysander's character is concerned, the most special thing is his passion for poverty? However, the author does not think so. In fact, Lysander is the wealth of greed. After the victory of the war, he made a bronze statue with trophies in Delphi, a star model made of gold, a gift from kurush, a three-layer paddle warship made of gold, and some money in the temple of Delphi, from which we can see Lysander's greed and hypocrisy.

Finally, arrogance. From the fact that he asked some cities to build altars for him, worshipped him as a god, and gave a large sum of money to Cherilus, a poet who followed him, to praise his beautiful poems, we can see Lysander's arrogance and arrogance.

In addition, Lysander put his bronze statue and several gods in Delphi, which shows that he is arrogant to some extent, and he wants everyone to worship him as a god. In a word, Lysander's evil deeds are really outrageous. Laqi generation dreamer Ann Etoc once said: The Greeks can't stand two Lysander. ?
