How many years before the Peloponnesian War was the Battle of Thermopylae? I thought quite a bit of time passed after that Persian invasion, during which Athens basically established an empire, taking the Ionian coast, and became huge. Sparta dwindled in power at this time, but at the height of their power I thought they had some 20,000+ citizen-soldiers...?

Thermopylae was in 480. The First Peloponesian War started in 460. This lasted until 445 with the peace that was supposed to last 30 years. So in 431 war resumed and Athens suffered a whole series of reverses until 404 when the Spartans set up the 30 oligarchs in Athens and proceeded to dominate Greece until the rise of Thebes and Epominondas.
The peak of Sparta was in the Archaic age from about 700 to 500.
