	Boeotia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While the Boeotians, unlike the Arcadians, generally acted as a united whole against foreign enemies, the constant struggle between the cities was a serious check on the nation's development.
		In consequence, for a time, the presidency of the Boeotian League was taken from Thebes, but in 457 BC the Spartans reinstated that city as a bulwark against Athenian aggression after the Battle of Tanagra.
		Boeotian contingents fought in all the campaigns of Epaminondas against the Spartans, most notably at the Battle of Leuctra in 371, and in the later wars against Phocis (356-346); while in the dealings with Philip of Macedon the cities merely followed Thebes.

	Boeotia
		The Boeotian population seems to have entered the land from the north at a date probably anterior to the Dorian invasion.
		While the Boeotians, unlike the Arcadians, generally acted as a united whole against foreign enemies, the constant struggle between the forces of centralization and disruption perhaps went further than any other cause to check their development into a really powerful nation.
		For ten years the land remained under Athenian control, which was exercised through the newly installed democracies; but in 447 the oligarchic majority raised an insurrection, and after a victory at Coronea regained their freedom and restored the old constitutions.

	Orchomenus - LoveToKnow 1911
		A Boeotian city, situated in an angle between the Cephissus and its tributary the Melas, on a long narrow hill which projects south from Mount Acontium.
		After the battle of Leuctra it was left at the mercy of the Thebans, who first, on Epaminondas's advice, readmitted it into the Boeotian League, but in 368 destroyed the town and exterminated or enslaved its people.
		In the 5th century it was overshadowed by its southern neighbour Mantineia, with whom it is henceforth generally found to be at variance.

		Boeotians are considered to have moved from Macedonia and were originally of Dorian stock, before they mixed with the previous populations who were of Aeolian stock, along with the Minyes and the mythological Kadmians, who were the descendants of Kadmos, who had established the acropolis of Thebes.
		Generally, the Boeotians were known to the rest of the Ancient Hellas, for their "love" of the human body! They spent almost all of their time in gymnasiums, so that they were always in good shape, and possessed great strength and stamina.
		Each city of the boeotian league has to provide a number of those hoplites on their shields they selected the serpent/snake which is strongly associated with boiotia through myths and in particular with Kadmos.

	Battle of Coronea (447 BC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 454 BC Athens lost a fleet attempting to aid an Egyptian revolt against Persia; fearing revolts by the other members of the Delian League, Athens moved the treasury to their city from Delos in 453 BC, and signed the Peace of Callias with Persia around 450 BC.
		The Delian League was essentially an Athenian empire, and while Athens was usually successful at holding their possessions in the Aegean Sea, they were less successful on land.
		The Athenians were forced to give up control of Boeotia, and the defeat led to revolts on Euboea and in Megara, which in turn led to further conflict with Sparta, contributing to the Peloponnesian War.

		This centralizing policy is as much the cardinal fact of Theban history as the counteracting effort of the smaller towns to resist absorption forms the main chapter of the story of Boeotia.
		The victorious Greeks subsequently punished Thebes by depriving it of the presidency of the Boeotian League, and an attempt by the Spartans to expel it from the Delphic amphictyony was only frustrated by the intercession of Athens.
		In 424 at the head of the Boeotian levy they inflicted a severe defeat upon an invading force of Athenians at the Battle of Delium, and for the first time displayed the effects of that firm military organization which eventually raised them to predominant power in Greece.

		The historian discusses briefly the officials and institutions of the Boeotian League and stresses the proportional system as a basis for the sharing in rights and duties of the member cities.
		finds this already in the Thessalian state of the 6th century and obviously in the Boeotian League from the middle of the 5th century onwards, but it is most clearly manifested in the Achaean League of the 2nd century.
		Although he compares this with an exactly parallel case in the Boeotian Federation (Chaeronea, Acraephia, Copai), he cannot bring himself to admitting the possibility of "districts" (or whatever they are to be called) as at least numerical units upon which to calculate the rights and duties of the member cities.
