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.
Historian Donald Kagan has emphasized the effect this victory had on the Athenians.
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.
