	Battle of Naupactus (429 BC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The naval Battle of Naupactus took place over the course of a week in 429 BC, in the early part of the Peloponnesian War, between the Athenian fleet under Phormio and a combined Spartan and Corinthian fleet.
		Ambracia and Chaonia asked Sparta to send a fleet and an army to conquer Acarnania from Athens, which would allow Sparta to attack Naupactus, the Athenian naval base on the Gulf of Corinth.
		The Spartan general Cnemus, with a fleet and 1000 hoplites, ravaged Acarnania, while Phormio and the Athenian fleet waited in the Gulf of Corinth for the Corinthian fleet in case it tried to attack Naupactus.

		They received the answer that by the "third fruit" the "third generation" was meant, and that the "narrow passage" was not the isthmus of Corinth, but the straits of Rhium[?].
		They accordingly built a fleet at Naupactus[?], but before they set sail, Aristodemus was struck by lightning (or shot by Apollo) and the fleet destroyed, because one of the Heraclidae had slain an Acarnanian soothsayer.
		On his way back to Naupactus, Temenus fell in with Oxylus, an Aetolian, who had lost one eye, riding on a horse (or mule) (thus making up the three eyes) and immediately pressed him into his service.

	Lepanto
		The name Naupactus (dockyard) is said to have originated in the traditional building of a fleet there by Heraclidae (Strabo, IX, ix, 7).
		The metropolitan See of Naupactus depended on the pope, as Western Patriarch, until 733, when Leo III the Isaurian annexed it to the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
		As to the Latin archbishops of Naupactus during the Frankish occupation, La Quien (Oriens Christ., III, 995) and Eubel (Hierarchia catholica medii aevi, I, 379; II, 222) mention about twenty in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.

		The ultimate object of the expedition of Demosthenes was the same as that which he again attempted without success in the eighth year of the war, when it led to the battle of Delium, being no less than to subjugate, or at least to gain over to the Athenian cause, the whole of Boeotia.
		He nevertheless proceeded to Naupactus, and with an army composed only of Messenians of Naupactus, of 300 Athenian epibatæ from his own ships, and a body of Cephallenes and Zacynthii, began his march into ætolia from OEneon of Locris.
		Thucydides remarks that the Nemeium of OEneon, from whence Demosthenes commenced his march, was the place where the poet Hesiod was said to have been killed; and Pausanias, in speaking of the sepulchre of Hesiod, at Orchomenus in Boeotia, asserts that his bones had been brought thither from the Naupactia.

	Locris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Eastern, or Opuntian, Locris was on the mainland coast stretching from Thermopylae to Larymna, opposite Euboea, while Western, or Ozolian, Locris was on the northern coast of the Corinthian Gulf between Naupactus and Crisa, going inland up the Amphissa valley.
		The main city of Ozolian Locris was Naupactus, which was a seaport[1] (http://www.timelessmyths.com/classical/mainland.html#Locris).
		In the 7th century BC, some Locrians founded the city of Locri in southern Italy, naming it after their native land, although there is some disagreement over whether it was those from Opuntian Locris or from Ozolian Locris who were responsible.

		In 1990, construction of a bypass of Nafpaktos began but when it was finally paved, the opening was delayed for eight years until demonstrations in 1998 about favoring the opening of the by-pass of GR-48/E65 and was finally opened in the early 2000s.

	Demosthenes
		Demosthenes commanded a fleet that was sent to the Athenian naval base Naupactus in the west, where the Athenians obstructed any ship that was sailing to or from Corinth, Sparta's main naval ally.
		Demosthenes preferred the second option, because Naupactus was absolutely vital to Athenian interests, and its inhabitants had to know that they could always rely upon their powerful ally.
		With some justification, they believed Naupactus was now vulnerable, and indeed, it was hard to see where it could find allies now that the Ambracians had refused help.

		For purposes of this rule, Patrae and Panormus are on one side of Naupactus; the other adjacent spaces are on the other side.
		Where Naupactus is concerned, this rule takes the place of the somewhat cryptic erratum that "Naupactus may not be used for shortest route considerations."

		Anticyra is situated in Locris, on the left hand as you enter the Corinthian Gulf, and is only a short distance either by sea or land from Naupactus.
		In three days the attack began in both directions; the naval attack was the heavier one because the ships were furnished with artillery and engines of every kind, and it was the Romans who were delivering the attack on this side.
		And now the new consuls were both of them fond of war, far too enterprising and ambitious, quite capable, even in a time of peace and quiet, of getting up a war, and now that war was actually going on all the less likely to allow the citizens any respite or breathing space.

		Thus Alexander's royal insignia gave an indication that his kingship of Asia was neither Macedonian nor Persian but a combination of the two, and uniquely a creation of Alexander.
		Leaving behind well-worn debates on the speech's historicity and the speech as Polybian fabrication, the paper analyzes Agelaus' address in order to understand Polybius' working methods and historiographical principles.
		The focus is upon Polybius' thoughts on the symplokê, or unification of world history, and on Philip V's conscious motivations in calling for peace at Naupactus.

		The pursuers hesitated, and the rest of the Athenians then returned, and gained a complete victory, taking 6 ships, and recovering 8 of the 9 which had run ashore.

		Meanwhile the Athenians took up their dead under truce from the Ætolians, and retired to Naupactus, and from thence went in their ships to Athens; Demosthenes staying behind in Naupactus and in the neighbourhood, being afraid to face the Athenians after the disaster.
		Meanwhile the Athenian Demosthenes, who since the affair in Ætolia had remained near Naupactus, having had notice of the army and fearing for the town, went and persuaded the Acarnanians, although not without difficulty because of his departure from Leucas, to go to the relief of Naupactus.
		The share of the Athenians was captured on the voyage home; the arms now deposited in the Attic temples are three hundred panoplies, which the Acarnanians set apart for Demosthenes, and which he brought to Athens in person, his return to his country after the Ætolian disaster being rendered less hazardous by this exploit.
