[harbor]
of

;
B
. The
main
naval
harbour
[harbor]
of

(caption

p.13)
;
“Faced
with
certain
Spartan
retaliation
, the
Athenian
assembly
took
the
crucial
decision
to
build
two
long
walls
from the
city
to the
coast
,
one
to the
port
at
Piraeus
,
6
kilometres
[kilometers]
(3
3/4
miles)
away
, and the
other
to
Phaleron
,
5
kilometres
[kilometers]
(3
miles)
away
. These
formed
a
triangle
with the
sea
as its
base
and
Athens
at the
apex
.
Now
, as
long
as the
Athenians
controlled
the
sea
,
no
enemy
could
starve
them into
submission.”
