	Battle of Sybota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Sybota took place in 433 BC between Corcyra and Corinth.
		The Corinthian ships were lined up with the Megarans and Ambraciots on the right, the Corinthians on the left, and the remainder of their allies in the centre.
		Soon after this battle, the Athenians and Corinthians fought again at the Battle of Potidaea, leading to a formal declaration of war from Sparta.

		It prevented Corinth from landing on Corcyra at the Battle of Sybota, laid siege to Potidaea, and forbade all commerce with Corinth's closely situated ally, Megara (the Megarian decree).
		The Athenian general Pericles recommended that his city fight a defensive war, avoiding battle against the superior land forces led by Sparta, and importing everything needful by maintaining its powerful navy: Athens would simply outlast Sparta, whose citizens feared to be out of their city for long lest the helots revolt.
		Following the Battle of Arginusae, which Athens won but was prevented by bad weather from rescuing some of its sailors, Athens executed or exiled eight of its top naval commanders.

	Battle of Potidaea
		The Battle of Potidaea was, with the Battle of Sybota, one of the catalysts for the Peloponnesian War.
		It was fought near Potidaea in 432 BC between Athens and a combined army from Corinth and Potidaea, along with their various allies.
		In the ensuing battle, Aristeus' wing of Corinthian troops defeated a section of the Athenian line, but elsewhere the Athenians were victorious.

		Athens was persuaded to intervene in a dispute between Corinth and Corcyra, and, at the Battle of Sybota, a small contingent of Athenian ships played a critical role in preventing a Corinthian fleet from capturing Corcyra.
		In 411 BC this fleet engaged the Spartans at the Battle of Syme.
		In the battle, the Athenians obliterated the Spartan fleet, and succeeded in re-establishing the financial basis of the Athenian empire.

		This opposition came to a head in the early part of the 7th century, when their fleets fought the first naval battle recorded in Greek history (about 664 BC).
		In 435 BC it was again involved in a quarrel with Corinth and sought assistance from Athens (see Battle of Sybota).
		This new alliance was one of the chief immediate causes of the Peloponnesian War, in which Corcyra was of considerable use to the Athenians as a naval station, but did not render much assistance with its fleet.

	Greco-Persian Wars - Crystalinks
		The Battle of Marathon (490 BC) was the culmination of King Darius I of Persia's first major attempt to conquer the remainder of the Greeks and add them to the Persian Empire, thereby securing the weakest portion of his Western border.
		The inadvertent result was a double envelopment, and the battle ended when the whole Persian army, crowded into confusion, broke back in panic towards their ships and were pursued by the Greeks.
		August Böckh in 1855 concluded that the battle took place on 12 September 490 BC in the Julian calendar, and this is the conventionally accepted date.

		Consequently, B. in most cases after a detailed analysis of each battle, amply commenting on matters of tactics as well as on the topographical situation and local background, is forced to decide on grounds of factual plausibility.
		The first battle not described in Thucydides (Abydos, 410 B.C.), which Xenophon describes as succession of three stages, in Diodorus is amalgamated into one single event, depicted in a much more dramatic mood but with factual blunders such as the confusion of Tissaphernes and Pharnabazos, fused into one person also elsewhere in Diodorus (p.
		For instance, the total of allied forces under Athenian command at the battle of the Arginusai is the same in both traditions, but their composition differs (110 Athenian and about 40 allied in Xenophon as against 60 Athenian and about 90 allied in Diodorus).

		In another famous adventure featuring lots of sea travel, Homer's Odyssey, Kerkyra is the island of the Phaeacians (Phaiakes) where Odysseus (Ulysses) meets Nausica the daughter of King Alkinoos.
		The island's history is full of battles and conquests, indicative of Corfu's turbulent position in a historical vortex that lasted until modern times, when after the unification with modern Greece in 1864 the history of the island became one with the mainland's, with no more foreign intervention.
		After the Battle of Greece was over, Corfu came under Italian control.
