| | ESAG - The Battle of Eretria (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | In the spring, the Eretrians, aided by the Boeotians, who were enemies of Athens, succeeded in liberating Oropos. |
 | | Until this point, control of Oropos had allowed the Athenians to dominate all of Euboea and to force the island's merchandise to pass through that point of exchange. |
 | | Consequently, the Eretrians had reason to hope that the Lacedaemonians, whom they had long been urging to intervene, would finally find it possible to release all of Euboea from Athenian imperial control. |
