These wars perhaps symbolize the conflict between two very different functions for organizing government. These would be the structure of a n empire and the city-state template. Similarly, especial if you look at Athens, these wars mean the survival of the idea of democracy in the world. If Greece lost, they would have had there entire culture changed, or even simply destroyed. Whereas the idea of an empire would not have disappeared, it had been widely known around the world.
