Mindarus took the bait, setting out with his entire fleet in pursuit.
Additionally the Spartans had replaced Mindarus with Lysander, a very capable admiral.
This fleet, along with a force of land troops under Chaereas,set out to the Hellespont to challenge Mindarus.
The fleet soon moved on from there to challenge Mindarus' fleet, which had seized the city of Cyzicus.
Mindarus, after joining forces with Dorieus, had 97 ships under his command; the Athenian fleet contained 74 ships.
A letter dispatched to Sparta by Hippocrates, vice-admiral under Mindarus, was intercepted and taken to Athens;
Thrasyllus pursued Mindarus with his fleet, and combined with other Athenian detachments at Sestos.
In the battle, an Athenian fleet commanded by Alcibiades, Thrasybulus, and Theramenes routed andcompletely destroyed a Spartan fleet commanded by Mindarus.
Mindarus, seeing the trap, fled in the one open direction, towards a beach south of the city, where Pharnabazus was located with his troops.
A letter dispatched to Sparta by Hippocrates, vice-admiral under Mindarus, was intercepted and taken to Athens; it ran as follows:"The ships are lost.
Surrounded, Mindarus led his ships in a desperate flight towards a beach south-west of the city, the one direction open to him.
When both forces had gotten well out from the harbor, however,Alcibiades turned to face Mindarus, and Thrasybulus and Theramenes appeared with their forces to cut off his retreat.
Thus, by the spring of 410 BC, Mindarus had built a fleet of eighty ships, and with the support of Pharnabazus's troops, besieged and took the city of Cyzicus.
With a substantial Peloponnesian fleet operating in the Hellespont,the crucial trade route through which Athens' grain supply passed, the Athenian fleet had little choice but to pursue Mindarus.
Mindarus, the Spartan navarch, summoned the Syracusan commander Dorieus, with his 14 ships, to join him at Abydos, hoping to end the war with a decisive victory.
In the wake of the Athenian victory at Abydos in November 411 BC,the Spartan admiral Mindarus sent to Sparta for reinforcements and began working with the Persian satrap Pharnabazus to plan for a new offensive.
Alcibiades had been forced to flee from Sestos to Cardia to protect his small fleet from the rebuilt Peloponnesian navy, but as soon as the Athenian fleet was reunited there its commanders led it to Cyzicus,where the Athenians had intelligence indicating that Pharnabazus and Mindarus, the Peloponnesian fleet commander, were together plotting their next move.
In the battle, the Spartan fleet under Mindarus attempted to rescue a small allied fleet that had been driven ashore at Dardanus, but was attacked by the Athenian fleet, under Thrasybulus.
According to Diodorus Siculus, Alcibiades advanced with a small squadron in order to draw the Spartans out to battle, and,after he successfully deceived Mindarus with this ploy, the squadrons of Thrasybulus and Theramenes came to join him, cutting off the Spartans' retreat.
Several months later, the new Spartan navarch Mindarus, deciding that the promises of support made by Pharnabazus, the Persian satrap of Anatolia, were more promising than those of Tissaphernes in Ionia.
Alcibiades had been forced to flee from Sestos to Cardia to protect his small fleet from the rebuilt Peloponnesian navy, but as soon as the Athenian fleet was reunited there its commanders led it to Cyzicus,where the Athenians had intelligence indicating that Pharnabazus and Mindarus, the Peloponnesian fleet commander, were together plotting their next move.
Landing with Alcibiades' force hot on their heels, Mindarus' men, and Pharnabazus' troops who had come up to support them, fought to prevent the Athenians from towing their ships out to sea.
With this strategic move, Mindarus had placed his fleet in position to cut off the Athenian grain supply, and had forced the Athenian fleet to challenge him on ground of his choosing.
However, in doing so, he allowed Spartan Admiral Mindarus to slip past him into the Hellespont with the Spartan fleet in what historian Donald Kagan considers to be an error in strategic judgement.
After several months of waiting, Mindarus realized that no such fleet would be forthcoming, and made the strategic decision to relocate his fleet to the Hellespont, where the satrap Pharnabazus had promised him greater support than he was receiving from Tissaphernes.
