FEDERAL GOVERNMENT - LoveToKnow Article on FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The 4th century Arcadian league, which was no doubt a revival of an older federation, was the result of the struggle for supremacy between Thebes and Sparta. The synod (see DELIAN LEAGUE) of the allies soon degenerated into a mere form; of comprehensive united policy there was none, at all events after the League had achieved its original purpose of expelling the Persians from Europe. Of all the federal governments of Greece, this league was the most certainly democratic in constitution. www.1911encyclopedia.org /F/FE/FEDERAL_GOVERNMENT.htm   (3573 words)

HELLAS:NET - Warfare This resulted in the founding of an Arcadian League under the leadership of the new found city of Megalopolis. The democratic coalition seemed to have lost all its justification when Thebes reclaimed its leadership of Boeotia by reviving the Boeotian League. The official goal of this second Delian League was a democratic freedom-fight against the Spartan oppressor. monolith.dnsalias.org /~marsares/warfare/battle/leuctra.html   (3573 words)

delphi-aspects Recently, due to the faltering power of Sparta against the armies of Thebes, the Arcadians created an Arcadian League in 370 BC. The league council is responsible for religious ceremonies, administration, the regular athletic games and the other communal festivals held at Delphi. After this they bound many states together in a defensive treaty (the Delian League), but the Persians never returned and Athens grew richer, mightier and more tyrannical as time passed. www.geocities.com /zozergames/delphi-aspects.html   (3573 words)

ORCHOMENUS - LoveToKnow Article on ORCHOMENUS Orchomenus fell for a time into the hands of the Mantineians; in 370 it held aloof from the new Arcadian League which the Mantineians were organizing. After the battle of Leuctra it was, left at the mercy of the Thebans, who first, on Epaminondass advice, readmitted it into the Boeotian League, but in 368 destroyed the town and exterminated or enslaved its people. Nevertheless, owing perhaps to its strong military position, it long continued to exercise some sort of overlordship over other towns of northern Boeotia, and maintained an independent attitude within the Boeotian League. www.1911encyclopedia.org /O/OR/ORCHOMENUS.htm   (3573 words)

edit?locale=en&content_id=64849 Tegea henceforth took an active part in the revival of the Arcadian League and the prosecution of the war in alliance with Thebes against Sparta (371-362), and the ultimate defection of Mantineia confirmed it in its federalist tendencies. A few years later they headed an Arcadian and Argive league against Sparta, but by the loss of two pitched battles (Tegea and Dipaea) were induced to resume their former loyalty (about 468-467). From the latter it was transferred by Antigonus Doson to the Achaean League (222); in 218 it was again occupied by the Spartans but reconquered in 207 by the Achaean general Philopoemen. encyclopedia.jrank.org /correction/edit?locale=en&content_id=64849   (973 words)

Ancient coins of Peloponnesus B.C. Between the Persian and Peloponnesian wars we note an increase in the number of Arcadian mints, Cleitor, Heraea, Mantineia, Pallantium, Paroreia, and Psophis all issuing small silver coins in addition to the money of the Arcadian League. Zacynthus, an important island about ten miles south of Cephallenia, and the same distance west of the coast of Elis, contained but one city, which bore the same name as the island, derived, it is said, from Zakynthos, son of Dardanos. This island, which derives its chief interest from the poems of Homer, issued autonomous bronze coins, which appear to belong chiefly to the fourth and third centuries. www.snible.org /coins/hn/peloponnesus.html   (9418 words)

MANTINEIA - LoveToKnow Article on MANTINEIA The city was reconstituted after the battle of Leuctra and under its statesman Lycomedes played a prominent part in organizing the Arcadian League (370). Mantineia regained its autonomous position in the Achaean League in 192, and its original name during a visit of the emperor Hadrian in A.D. Under the later Roman Empire the city dwindled into a mere village, which since the 6th century bore the Slavonic name of Goritza. Mantineia is mentioned in the Homeric catalogue of ships, but in early Greek times existed only as a cluster of villages inhabited by a purely agricultural community. 7.1911encyclopedia.org /M/MA/MANTINEIA.htm   (1991 words)

Hellenica - Chapter V Meanwhile most of the Arcadian contingents were mustering at Asea.[12] The Orchomenians not only refused to take part in the Arcadian league, on account of their personal hatred to Mantinea, but had actually welcomed within their city a mercenary force under Polytropus, which had been collected at Corinth. Here he encamped under the westward-facing[16] mountains of Mantinea, and employed himself in ravaging the country district and sacking the farmsteads; while the troops of the Arcadians who were mustered in Asea stole by night into Tegea. He, on his side, was ready to undertake for himself and in their interests that, if they would at present desist from their fortification work, he would bring it about that the defensive walls should be built with the sanction of Lacedaemon and without cost. www.worldwideschool.org /library/books/lit/historical/Hellenica/chap34.html   (4900 words)

TEGEA - LoveToKnow Article on TEGEA Tegea henceforth took an active part in the revival of the Arcadian League and the prosecution of the war in alliance with Thebes against Sparta (371-362), and the ultimate defection of Mantineia confirmed it in its federalist tendencies. For several centuries Tegea served as a bulwark of Arcadia against the expanding power of Sparta; though ultimately subdued about 550 B.C. it was allowed to retain its independence and its Arcadian nationality. Tegea was one of the most ancient cities of Peloponnesus; tradition ascribed its concentration (synoecism) out of eight or nine primitive cantons to a mythical king Aleus. www.1911encyclopedia.org /T/TE/TEGEA.htm   (1636 words)

“A Well-Trimmed Ship”: Megalopolis had been build in 368 as a planned capital city of the Arcadian League, a federal union. The Roman commander in Greece, Quintus Marcius Philippus, requested the Achaean League to soldiers to serve alongside the Romans in the conflict. Polybius’ influence may have helped to convince the Romans to incorporation Macedonia into their Imperium as a province, but to leave the rest of Greece with self-government as Roman "allies." Statues were erected to honor Polybius in many parts of Greece to mark his work of intercession and reconstruction. www.raleightavern.org /polybius.htm   (1636 words)

The Encyclopedia of World History The government of the Arcadian League consisted of a general assembly (the Ten Thousand), made up of all freeborn citizens, with sovereignty in matters of war and peace. A general peace settlement was reached between the allies and Sparta in the summer, but the Theban leader Epaminondas withdrew when he was not permitted to sign on behalf of all Boeotia.

Civilization Fanatics' Forums - Thebes in the Age of Pelopidas and Epaminondas: Some Questions Considered. Epaminondas sought to weaken Sparta while he could and destroy the old Peloponnesian League, and he did so by founding Megalopolis, Messene and re-creating Mantinea, thus strengthening his Arcadian allies and creating a new ally whose very existence brought the Spartan social system to its knees. Epaminondas is the man given credit for being the brains behind Theban success, for his innovative battle tactics and devastating strategic thinking. So, if the tactics of Epaminondas suddenly appearing at Leuctra and then Mantinea were part of a gradual development, then we would not know it. www.eqforge.com /showthread.php?t=61666   (457 words)

History of Ancient Sparta The Achaean league under Aratos of Sikyon, with the promise of giving him back Corinth, allied with king Antigonos of Macedon and recovered Argos and several Arcadian cities. Sikyon deserted Sparta, after a vote taken by its people and admitted an harmost and a Theban garrison into its Acropolis.

Arkadia, Tripolis, Megalopolis, Peloponnese, the picturesque Greece travel, tourism, vacations & Greek lodgings, hotels, accommodation guide The Federal Constitution of the new Pan Arcadian union was democratic in nature; Megalopolis was just another city in the League in some respects. Many of the items recovered from excavations at Megalopolis are now housed in the Panarcadian Archaeological Museum, located in Tripolis, which also is home to the center of archaeological services in the region. A sill that runs the length of the skanotheka is problematic since it may have protruded into the skene, but it may have only stood a few feet high and merely served as a rest for the stage to be wedged upon to take pressure off the wheels. www.gotogreece.gr /peloponnese/ark   (457 words)

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.9.06 A lot of new thematic entries makes the OCD more comprehensive, for example alcoholism (not in DNP), Arcadian league, barbarian, (peace of) Callias, contraception (by H. King) or (battle of) Magnesia. Greek proper names are listed in the Latin form, e.g., Cronus instead of Kronos, Acraephnium instead of Akraiphnion. Unfortunately, the modernized articles, i.e., articles of 1948/70 with little changes and new bibliography, are sometimes full of disappointment. www.hist.upenn.edu /bmcr/1997/97.9.06.html   (439 words)

Estimate the importance of Federalism in fourth century Greece. One of the Theban Hegemony's most permanent legacies according to V. Ehrenberg, The Greek State, was the export of the federal principle and that the establishment of the Arcadian league is concrete evidence of the way Thebes in her expansion in the Aegean, capitalized on Athenian unpopularity by stealing Athens&; allies and institutions[12]. The establishment of Theban military supremacy was a source of fear to both Athens and Sparta, and so it seemed the logical move for the two states to combine in their opposition to Thebes[14]. Although Theban Hegemony was to follow, Athens still made a bid for diplomatic leadership to fill the vacuum left by Sparta& fall. www.coursework.info /i/9011.html   (684 words)

TEGEA - LoveToKnow Article on TEGEA Tegea henceforth took an active part in the revival of the Arcadian League and the prosecution of the war in alliance with Thebes against Sparta (371-362), and the ultimate defection of Mantineia confirmed it in its federalist tendencies. Both subjects were intimately associated with the temple, for Atalanta had dedicated in it the face and tusks of the boar, which had been awarded to her as the first to wound it; and Telephus was the son of Heracles and the priestess Auge. With all his efforts, however, this was markedly inferior to the Italian force opposed to it, and when the two fleets met off Lissa on the 20th of July, the decisive victory of the Austrians was entirely due to the personal superiority of Tegetthoff and the officers whom he in great measure had trained. 64.1911encyclopedia.org /T/TE/TEGEA.htm   (457 words)
