With a little imagination I can easily imagine these wars lasting longer than the Peloponnesian tbh

??? Ancient culture declared peace all the time because war was too expensive to wage continuously, or conquered their enemies and actually won wars, also because wars were too expensive to not be financed by the last war's tribute.

there are literally zero civilizations that measured war in centuries. Even the Hundred Years war had truces one lasting a generation and was only grouped as a war by later historians

I wonder if there's any correlation between living in an ancient culture that measured conflicts in centuries and dying of preventable diseases, living in abject poverty, extreme infant mortality, etc. J/k, I don't wonder about that at all.
