Then learn it yourself... It isnt that hard really. Just use Scullard or Salmon to learn the Roman part, and then use Bury & Meggs along with Herodotus and Thucydides to learn the Pelopennesian league.
If you're doing Greece 500-440 then I dont think you need to know that much about the Pelp. league - you need to know the Delian league inside out though:
- Ionian revolt
- Persian wars - all the battles and their strategies/importance
- Delian league - why and how it was formed, how it became the Athenian empire
