    As important as what?

    When the Persian Wars finally came to an end in the mid-5th century BC Athens had built itself an empire in the Aegean based on the premise of defense against Persia. However, despite Athens' growth as a power Sparta and its Peloponnesian League arguably still held supremacy in Greece.

    The Persian wars proved Athen's dominance over Persia.
