Athens was stripped of its empire and became a second rate power. Sparta became temporarily dominant until defeated and displaced by Thebes. Fighting between Greek city-states continued on. Persia reasserted control of the Greek cities of Asia Minor. The weakened Greek city-states were unable to resist the rise of Macedonia.

Example of an oligarchy?
if you think that Sparta is an oligarchy, you are wrong. Sparta is unable to have an oligarchy because they have two kings that have no power to the people. kind of like Great Britain. The only difference is that Great Britain has a constitution and Sparta doesn't. An example of an oligarchy is not known at this time. Sparta is also not a monarchy because it has TWO kings instead of one. if i could make up a word for Spartas government... it would be POLARCHY because Sparta has more than one king. when i find out the answer, i will update this answer.
How long is the drive from Athens to Sparta?
They are 153 miles apart by land and 95 miles apart by air. Can you believe that in 490BC a messanger was ordered to run that distance just to send reinforcments for a battle! Not only that but after he made it he returned with the reinforcments, fought in the battle and was then ordered to run all the back to announce the victory!!! He made it but collapsed and died of exhaustion. Edit: Actually, the story about a man running from Marathon to Athens is not true. A herald named Pheidippides was sent on the 150 mile run to Sparta (which he made in two days) for reinforcements, but the story about him being ordered to run from Marathon to Athens is just a bastardization of several accounts, mostly from long after the war. It's usually wrongly attributed to Herodotus. More: Pheidipides the runner arrived back in Athens from this run hallucinating, and died, so he was unable to do any fighting and running later at Marathon. After the Athenians defeated the Persian infantry at Marathon, they realised that the Persian cavalry, which had been absent from the battle (which allowed the Athenians to win), were sailing around to Athens to enter the city gates which were to be opened for them by traitors. The 9,000 Athenian warriors ran the 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to form up in front of the city just as the Persian cavalry began to disembark, and repelled them. The runners of the first Marathon run were these 9,000, carrying their armour and weapons, after having already fought that morning at Marathon. The runners of today's marathon races which replicate that desperate defence, get it pretty easy by comparison.
How did the plague and the blockade help the winner of the Peloponnesian War?
The Peloponnian League faced an Athens weakened in the short and middle term of the 27-year war by losing a third of its manpower in the plague outbreaks of 430, 429 and 427 BCE. Replacing these soldiers and seamen, further reduced by the loss in Sicily, took over two decades as the children grew up, and by then the war was turning against Athens when Persia began supporting the Peloponnesian League.The blockade of Athens in 404 BCE by land and sea, after the anihilation of its fleet the year before at Aigospotamai, left Athens with no option but to surrender - unable to produce food, cut off from imported food supplies, and with its overseas garrisons forced home into the city to exacerbate the food crisis.With the city-state of Athens decimated by the plague , along with the loss of it's prominent leader Pericles , Sparta was left in the stronger position and ultimately persevered over Athens .

Why did the Peloponnesian War last so long?
Neither side had the power to defeat the other outright.The Athenians were dominant at sea but unable to assemble sufficient land power to defeat the Spartan alliance, staying behind their city walls, conducting amphibious raids, and collecting tribute from its empire to finance its fleet and supply the city.The Spartan alliance was dominant on land, but did not have the capacity to either breach the walls of Athens or match its navy at sea.This changed when Persia provided money to Sparta, which was then able to expand its alliance fleet and hire the best sailors, so Athens was matched at sea as well as under seige at home, and unable to collect the tribute from its empire which financed its fleet. Defeat of the Athenian fleet in the Dardanelles ended its naval capability and ability to continue the war.
