 Battle of Mantinea (418 BC)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The Battle of Mantinea took place in 418 BC between Sparta and its allies, and an army led by Argos and Athens.
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.
As the battle began, each side's right wing began to outflank the other's left, due to the erratic movements of each hoplite trying to cover himself with the shield of the man beside him.

418 BC–362 BC) was a Theban general and statesman of the 4th century BC who transformed the Ancient Greek city-state of Thebes, leading it out of Spartan subjugation into a preeminent position in Greek politics.
In 385 BC in a skirmish near the city of Mantinea, Epaminondas, at great risk to his own life, saved the life of his future colleague Pelopidas, an act thought to have cemented the life-long friendship between the two.
As news of Epaminondas' death on the field of battle was passed from soldier to soldier, the allies across the field ceased in their pursuit of the defeated troops—a testament to Epaminondas's centrality to the war effort.

 Battle of Mantinea (418 BC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Late in 418, the Argives and their allies marched against Tegea, where a faction was ready to turn the city over to the Argive alliance.
Instead of allowing Mantinea to be flooded, the Argive army moved quicker then the Spartans anticipated, as the Argive hoplites were very angry at their generals for not pursuing the Spartan army and accused them of treason.
Brasidas' veterans (Brasidas himself had been killed at the Battle of Amphipolis), and the Sciritae (an elite unit of Spartan troops) formed the left wing, the Spartans, Arcadians, Heraeans and Maenalians in the centre, and the Tegeans, who were fighting for their homeland took the postion of honour on the right wing.

In 418 King Agis set out with all available spartiates, the full mass of which had not been seen in the field for a very long time, and all nearby faithful allies they could manage.
The flight and retreat, however, were neither hurried nor long; the Lacedaemonians fighting long and stubbornly until the rout of their enemy, but that once effected, pursuing for a short time and not far.
Such was the battle, as nearly as possible as I have described it; the greatest that had occurred for a very long while among the Hellenes, and joined by the most considerable states.
