Page "Battle of Cynossema" Paragraph 5
from
Wikipedia
In the days after the battle, the Athenians refitted their ships at Sestos and dispatched a small detachment to Cyzicus, recapturing that town and seizing 8 triremes encountered along the way.
A trireme was dispatched to Athens, where the unexpected good news restored the people's confidence in the war effort.
Forced to fight on terms chosen by their enemies, at a time when the city lacked the resources to build another fleet, the Athenians could have lost the war on that day at Cynossema.
Instead, they won a victory that allowed them to continue fighting, with victory still seeming possible.
