One immediate outcome of a battle of Thermopylae was that Athens and Sparta finally united? true of false?

They were united for a very short time during the Greek/Persian wars, but once the war was over they went back to being enemies. Not long after was the Peloponnesian War in which Athens and Sparta fought, with Sparta victorious in the end.





Edit: This is a bit of a trick question, because of the wording. They were in that ';immediate'; time allies. But saying they were ';finally united'; is a poor choice of words since they were never exactly friendly with each other and only bonded based on the fact that ';the enemy of my enemy is my friend';, they didn't have anything uniting them except for their hatred of Persia. So may actually mark true instead of false. Sorry for the confusion.
