	Phocis - LoveToKnow 1911
		During the Persian invasion of 480 the Phocians at first joined in the national defence, but by their irresolute conduct at Thermopylae lost that position for the Greeks; in the campaign of Plataea they were enrolled on the Persian side.
		The subsequent decline of Athenian land-power had the effect of weakening this new connexion; at the time of the Peloponnesian War Phocis was nominally an ally and dependent of Sparta, and had lost control of Delphi.
		With the help of these troops the Phocian League at first carried the war into Boeotia and Thessaly, and though driven out of the latter country by Philip of Macedon, maintained itself for ten years, until the exhaustion of the temple treasures and the treachery of its leaders placed it at Philip's mercy.

	Corinthian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The war was fought on two fronts, on land near Corinth and Thebes and at sea in the Aegean.
		The effects of the war, therefore, were to establish Persia's ability to interfere successfully in Greek politics and to affirm Sparta's hegemonic position in the Greek political system.
		In response, the Phocians invaded Locris, and ransacked Locrian territory.

		A war to liberate an occupied country is called a "war of liberation"; a war between internal factions within a state is a civil war.
		At the outbreak of World War I the writer Thomas Mann wrote, "Is not peace an element of civil corruption and war a purification, a liberation, an enormous hope?" This attitude has been embraced by societies from Sparta and Rome in the ancient world to the fascist states of the 1930s.
		Wars are seen as the result of evolved psychological traits that are turned on by either being attacked or by a population perception of a bleak future.

	Corinthian War
		The Corinthian War was an ancient Greek conflict lasting from 395 BC until 387 BC, pitting Sparta against a coalition of four allied states; Thebes, Athens, Corinth, and Argos; which were initially backed by Persia.
		The immediate cause of the war was a local conflict in northwest Greece in which both Thebes and Sparta intervened.
		In the Peloponnesian War, which had ended in 404 BC, Sparta had enjoyed the support of nearly every mainland Greek state and the Persian Empire, and in the months and years following that war, a number of the island states of the Aegean had come under its control.

		The Corinthian War (395 BC–387 BC) was an ancient Greek military conflict between Sparta and four allied states, Thebes, Athens, Corinth, and Argos, which were initially backed by Persia.
		At sea, the Spartan fleet was decisively defeated by a Persian fleet early in the war, an event which effectively ended Sparta's attempts to become a naval power.
		Taking advantage of this fact, Athens launched several naval campaigns in the later years of the war, recapturing a number of islands that had been part of the original Athenian Empire during the 5th century.

		Krentz notes the double reference to Spartan anger as motivation for the wars against Elis and Thebes (p.173, p.197), and he cross refers (p.151) to the impropriety of anger in a military commander, but makes nothing of its specific causes.
		The Spartans are angry in both cases because they remember harm from long ago, and this is marked by the use of the actual word for 'remembering' in the decision against Thebes.
		Xenophon frequently uses other plainer modes of narrative, so that the question of why he chose the form is of interest, and while story patterns may not completely distort the truth, their implications need to be faced.

	Ethics of Greek Politics and Wars 500-360 BC by Sanderson Beck
		Peloponnesian War 431-404 BC Though Athens and Sparta had fought each other before, Thucydides called the 27-year conflict between the Athenian empire and the Lacedaemonians the Peloponnesian War, which he wrote in his great history was caused by the growth of Athenian power and the fear which that caused in Sparta.
		By the end of the Peloponnesian War both Sparta and Athens were making agreements with Persia to recognize their Greek holdings in Asia, a reversal of the original purpose of the Delian league, whose growing Athenian power had brought on the Peloponnesian War in the first place.
		The Corinthians sent envoys to Thebes, saying they wanted peace and asking permission to send the same message to their Lacedaemonian allies, who insisted they were going to continue fighting as long as they were deprived of the Messenian territory.
