	Battle of Mantinea (362 BC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Mantinea was fought in 362 BC between the Thebans, led by Epaminondas and supported by the Arcadians and the Boeotians, and the Spartans, led by King Agesilaus II and supported by the Eleans, Athenians, and Mantineans.
		After the battle of Leuctra in 371 BC had shattered the foundations of Spartan hegemony, there was an attempt by Thebes' chief politician and general Epaminondas to build a new hegemony centered on his city.
		The ultimate result of the battle was to pave the way for the Macedonian conquest of Greece, by ensuring the weakness of both the Thebans and the Spartans.

	Informat.io on Battle Of Leuctra
		The Battle of Leuctra is a battle fought between the Thebans and the Spartans and their allies in the neighbourhood of Leuctra, a village in Boeotia in the territory of Thespiae.
		The battle's political effects were far-reaching: the losses in material strength and prestige (prestige being an inestimably important factor in the Peloponnesian War) sustained by the Spartans at Leuctra and subsequently at the Battle of Mantinea were key in depriving them forever of their supremacy in Greece.
		Therefore, the battle permanently altered the Greek balance of power, as Sparta was deprived of her former prominence and was reduced to a second-rate power among the Greek city states.

		During the course of the battle, the Mantinean cavalry was pushed back by the Theban and Thessalian cavalry, while on the eastern flank, the Athanian cavalry was defeated by the Theban cavalry, hamippoi and slingers deployed along the Kapnistra ridge, aided by Thessalian javelinmen.

		The ensuing battle was a somewhat confused affair, with both sides losing in places, but eventually the Spartans gained the upper hand and carried the day, restoring somewhat their miltary credentials, but making no important stratetegic gains other than a peace teaty with Argos.
		As 1000 more Athenian hoplites arrived after the battle along with 3000 hoplites from Elis, the Allied side must to dice for these reinforcements as if for a flank march, except that they arrive on the road at the Allied rear table edge rather than a side table edge.

	The Soul Of Battle
		It is democracies, which in the right circumstances, can be imbued with the soul of battle, and thus turn the horror of killing to a higher purpose of saving lives and freeing the enslaved.
		In contrast, three lesser-known generals were as great in battle and far greater in war; the killing they did and the magnificent armies they led were to save not take lives, to free not enslave, and to liberate not annex ground.
		To Grant and his army, men — in the general and brutal sense of sheer manpower that shot iron into the flesh of the enemy — were the key to Northern victory; in contrast, the Westerners under Sherman believed that their particular men alone would both win and survive the war.

		Brasidas (apparently not the same general who had been killed at the Battle of Amphipolis), the Thracians, and the Sciritae (an elite unit of Spartan troops) formed the left wing, the Spartans, Arcadians, and Maenalians in the centre, and the Tegeans on the right wing.
