Detailed explanation-1: -The League was led by the city-state Athens. Those city-states who did not want to continue fighting Persia formed the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta. Under the Athenian leader Pericles, Athens began taking control of the Delian League.
Detailed explanation-2: -By 377 Athens, with Cos, Mytilene, Methymna, Rhodes, and Byzantium, formed the nucleus of a new naval league, whose objective was to preserve peace and prevent Spartan aggression.
Detailed explanation-3: -By 431 BC, the threat the League presented to Spartan hegemony combined with Athens’s heavy-handed control of the Delian League prompted the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War; the League was dissolved upon the war’s conclusion in 404 BC under the direction of Lysander, the Spartan commander.
