		The league was called the 'Delphic' Amphictyony because one of the defining features of the league was its administration of the famous sanctuary and oracle of Apollo at Delphi.
		Besides administering the sanctuary at Delphi, the league was bound to maintain certain principles of international right, which forbade them, for instance, ever to destroy utterly any city of the league, or to cut off its water, even in time of war.
		When a state violated league rules, the assembly could inflict fines, or, if the violator were a member of the league, even expel the member from the league; and a State that would not submit to the punishment had a "holy war," declared against it.

		Leagues of cities were already familiar from Greek history, but to the extent that they represented real power, they usually reflected the dominance of one member.
		The League of Corinth was created by Philip II of Macedon to control Greece, while maintaining the fiction that the Greek cities were independent.
		Neither league began near what had hitherto been centers of Greek power, and the Aetolians were in an area that had barely passed from tribal to urban organization -- though their acquisition of Delphi around 300 (or in 290) gave them one of the symbolic centers of Greek religion and identity.

		Philip's last marriage created a serious rift, but a formal reconciliation had been effected by the time of his death (autumn 336), and Alexander was proclaimed king against a background of dynastic intrigue, in which his rivals (notably Amyntas, son of Perdiccas, and the faction of Attalus) were eliminated.
		A show of force in southern Greece saw him acknowledged Philip's successor as hegemon of the League of Corinth; and in 335, when the Thebans took advantage of his absence campaigning over the Danube and rebelled, he destroyed the city and enslaved the survivors.
		But Alexander undermined the provisions of the league by his Exiles' Decree (324), which threatened Athens' possessions of Samos and gave almost every city the problem of repatriating long-term exiles.
