Did Sparta and allies felt the war was worth it in the end?

In the end, many in Sparta and its allies felt the war, particularly the Peloponnesian War, was worth the cost due to their victory over Athens, which solidified Sparta's dominance in Greece. However, the prolonged conflict resulted in significant loss of life, weakening of city-states, and eventual instability in the region, leading to mixed feelings about the overall outcome. While Sparta achieved military success, the societal and economic toll raised doubts about whether the war's benefits outweighed its devastating consequences.
