	Lelantine War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lelantine War was a long war between Eretria and Chalcis in ancient Greece at either the end of the 8th century BC or the first half of the 7th century BC.
		The war is named Lelantine because of the Lelantine plain, a small plain between Eretria and Chalkis which was the object of the War.
		Wars by land there were none, none at least by which power was acquired; we have the usual border contests, but of distant expeditions with conquest for object we hear nothing among the Hellenes.

		The Greco-Persian Wars or Persian Wars were a series of conflicts between several Greek city-states and the Persian Empire that started about 500 BC and lasted until 448 BC.
		The expression "Persian Wars" usually refers to either or both of the two Persian invasions of the Greek mainland in 490 BC and in 480-479 BC; in both cases, the allied Greeks successfully defeated the invasions.
		An aftermath of the war was that Kimon was ostracised and the relations between Athens and Sparta turned into hostility.

	Essay on Just War
		The first was a tradition reported by the geographer Strabo around 700 BC during the War of the Lelantine Plain, in which the opposing armies agreed to refrain from the use of missiles.
		As Dr. Lieber wrote: "Sharp wars are brief." Unquestionably, General Sherman's "march to the sea" and his burning of the city of Atlanta reflected this "total war" outlook as well as the assumed culpability of Confederate citizens in the perpetration of an "unjust" war.
		This is not to suggest that war is child's play, but rather to suggest that, like child's play, war has developed a set of rules that are generally self-imposed, even by those who admit of divine legislation to restrain themselves regarding the conduct of war.

	Eretria
		In the 8th century BC, Eretria and her near neighbour and rival, Chalcis, were both powerful and prosperous trading cities, and the Eretrians controlled the Aegean islands of Andros, Tenos and Ceos.
		At the end of the 8th century, however, Eretria and Chalcis fought a prolonged war known (mainly from the account in Thucydides) as the Lelantine War.

		First is the daughter of Zeus who holds the aegis, bright-eyed Athene; for she has no pleasure in the deeds of golden Aphrodite, but delights in wars and in the work of Ares, in strifes and battles and in preparing famous crafts.
		She first taught earthly craftsmen to make chariots of war and cars variously wrought with bronze, and she, too, teaches tender maidens in the house and puts knowledge of goodly arts in each one's mind.
		Dread is she, and with Ares she loves deeds of war, the sack of cities and the shouting and the battle.

	Democratic Peace - dKosopedia
		The first proposition has become known as the monadic peace, because peace or war depend on the internal affairs of a single state; the second as the dyadic peace, because peace is a function of pairs of states.
		The most common exceptions of this kind are the Spanish American War and the (somewhat technical) state of war between Finland and the Western Allies during World War II; Gleditsch proposes a general exception for incidental states of war between democracies during large multi-polar wars; which are fortunately rare.
		There is a war of secession; and, as often, a peace party has severe difficulty remaining within the laws of the attempted secession For example, the American Revolution, the American Civil War, the Anglo-Irish War.

	OMACL: Hesiod, the Homeric Hymns and Homerica: Introduction
		Two events mark the early reign of Zeus, the war with the Titans and the overthrow of Typhoeus, and as Zeus is still reigning the poet can only go on to give a list of gods born to Zeus by various goddesses.
		Of these the "Aegimius" (also ascribed by Athenaeus to Cercops of Miletus), is thought by Valckenaer to deal with the war of Aegimus against the Lapithae and the aid furnished to him by Heracles, and with the history of Aegimius and his sons.
		The "Cypria" begins with the first causes of the war, the purpose of Zeus to relieve the overburdened earth, the apple of discord, the rape of Helen.

	euboea - NumisWiki, The Collaborative Numismatics Project
		Chalcis and Eretria, from the dawn of history down to the close of the sixth century, were the two most enterprising cities in European Greece, as is shown by the large number of Chalcidian and Eretrian colonies on the coasts of Thrace, of Southern Italy, and of Sicily.
		The attribution of the remaining types is doubtful, though it is tempting to assign the Horse types to Cyme on the ground that similar types are characteristic of its colony Cyme in Aeolis.
		The war over, the cities of Euboea were enrolled among the allies of Athens, and such of them as retained the right of coinage adopted a new and improved method of striking money, and for the most part new types.

	Hesiod, the Homeric Hymns, and Homerica eBook
		Critics from Plutarch downwards have almost unanimously rejected the lines 654-662, on the ground that Hesiod’s Amphidamas is the hero of the Lelantine Wars between Chalcis and Eretria, whose death may be placed circa 705 B.C. — a date which is obviously too low for the genuine Hesiod.
		Hesiod’s claim in the “Works and Days” is modest, since he neither pretends to have met Homer, nor to have sung in any but an impromptu, local festival, so that the supposed interpolation lacks a sufficient motive.
		And there is nothing in the context to show that Hesiod’s Amphidamas is to be identified with that Amphidamas whom Plutarch alone connects with the Lelantine War: the name may have been borne by an earlier Chalcidian, an ancestor, perhaps, of the person to whom Plutarch refers.

		The extensive use of cavalry and chariots by both sides indicate that this may have been the last of the aristocratic wars, for already the Chalcidians were probably using their bronze technology for armor that was to revolutionize wars and society.
		Plato found that the maturity of the elders moderated the pride of the kings, and the election of the ephors provided a democratic check; but he noted that the Spartans were able to excel in war but knew nothing of the arts of peace.
		The conflict was settled by the tyrant Periander of Corinth in favor of Athens.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 98.6.12
		This is a good chronological milestone in relation to the war because the Lelantine War must be necessarily later than those common entreprises.
		The Lelantine War, finished at mid-seventh century, provoked the end of the Golden Age of both Euboean cities; it was, as P. suggests, a war without winners because both Chalcis and Eretria lost the impulse they had shown in the previous centuries.
		Perhaps the way is not only to seek after a possible cause of enmity between cities mentioned by the sources as taking part in the Lelantine War but also to investigate our sources' sources and their motivations to increase those figures of participants.

	Peter W. Rose on the Homeric Background
		On the other hand, the period immediately preceding the Trojan War together with the period alleged for that war constitute an era with significant evidence of instability quite directly related to the militarization of life that so sharply differentiates Mycenaean from Cretan cultural remains.
		On the contrary, in the ninth century and some of the eighth we see indications of a pattern of imperial expansion that led to two competing spheres of influence and culminated in a major war, the so-called Lelantine War, which seems to have more or less permanently destroyed both sides (Murray 1980: 76-79).
		This period was characterized by the rise of the polis, widespread colonization, the acceleration of the replacement of kings by oligarchs, and rising economic and social conflict--if we may extrapolate from both Hesiod and later Athenian evidence.
