If Thucydides doesn't mention it, and Plutarch thinks it happened at a different time (for whatever that's worth...), where do we get our information about it from? Diodorus? john k 01:33, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I got it from a text book called A History of Ancient Greece by Nancy Demand. She doesn't say who else mentions it, just "some sources..." and "many historians...". Adam Bishop 02:45, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Most notably, the Athenian Tribute Lists (ATL), by Wade-Gery, Meritt, and Mitchell argues that the Peace of Callias was both a real treaty and extremely important. However, their conclusions from their findings is extremely disputed and there really is no definitive conclusion about the Peace. Joel Weinberger 7:52, 10 May 2006

references and article structure

Fornara 95 [1] contains all the relevant ancient sources on this topic. For discussion see Meiggs' chapter on this topic in Athenian Empire (1972) as well as Badian From Plataea to Potidaea (1993) chapter 1. This article should be aware that there is no scholarly consensus on this topic. No peaces, one peace or two peaces are all arguable stances to have. The article should give reference to the main primary evidence and outline possible solutions. Since there is no agreement on whether there was a peace, the 'effects of the peace' content (towards the end of the current text) should be presented rather as 'developments a peace with Persia could be used to explain'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.43.239 (talk) 23:57, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
