		The Peace of Callias is a purported treaty established around 449 BC between the Delian League (led by Athens) and Persia, ending the Persian Wars.
		The Peace of Callias gave autonomy to the Ionian states in Asia Minor, prohibited the establishment of Persian satrapies elsewhere on the Aegean coast, and prohibited Persian ships from the Aegean.
		Although Callias was also responsible for a peace (supposed to last for thirty years) with Sparta around 445 BC, the growing Athenian threat would eventually lead to the Peloponnesian War.

		The Peace of Callias, and the Athenian greatness which it emblematizes, tend to be embedded in the minds of those who hold Athens dear; they are part of the mental territory of the Hellenists.

	Notes
		By the terms of the [Persian] "King's Peace" or "Peace of Antalcidas" of 387 bce, which recognized the autonomy of all the Greek cities except those of Asia Minor, Lemnos, Imbros and Skyros were recognized as belonging to Athens.
		In 371 bce, shortly after Sparta and Athens had concluded a peace, the long-brewing conflict between Sparta and Thebes came to a head in the battle of Leuctra, which resulted in a stunning defeat for Sparta and the assumption by Thebes of Greek hegemony.
		In that year, a dispute between Athens and Sparta over peace negotiations led the Spartans to beseige the city of Corcyra, and the Athenians to send aid to the Corcyreans under the generalship of Iphicrates, along with Cabrias and Callistratus, the orator and patron of Stephanus, who was an advocate for peace with Sparta.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2006.11.15
		One of the arguments against the historicity of the Peace of Callias is that Theopompus wrote in fragment 154 that the inscription recording the peace could not be genuine because it was written in the archaic Ionic alphabet.
		Santi Amantini believes, therefore, that Theopompus' use of terminology provides an argument for the Peace of Callias and that Theopompus' criticism on the basis of paleography is too a narrow basis on which to deny its historicity.
		The fifth and final contribution is that of Leonardo Paganelli on the "treaty of peace between Sparta and Athens" mentioned in the 1749 comedy by Goldoni "La famiglia dell'antiquario".

	HISTORY OF THE PARTHENON
		Hence, it is safe to conclude that Parthenon I began to be built in the period of Cimon’s political leadership, when it appeared that Athens was finally at peace and when the unemployment caused by the peace provided one further justification for starting to replace the temple destroyed by the Persians.
		The text of the inscription indicates that after the conclusion of the peace with Persia (end of the legal year 449/8 B.C.) it was decided to proceed with the construction of the Parthenon.
		In order to reduce the pressure on the parts of the substructure that were weaker, on account of being higher in relation to the natural ground, the new temple was made smaller all around in relation to the substructure.

		In 457 BC the Athenians had taken control of Boeotia at the Battle of Oenophyta, and spent the next ten years attempting to consolidate the League's power.
		In 454 BC Athens lost a fleet attempting to aid an Egyptian revolt against Persia; fearing revolts by the other members of the Delian League, Athens moved the treasury to their city from Delos in 453 BC, and signed the Peace of Callias with Persia around 450 BC.
		The Delian League was essentially an Athenian empire, and while Athens was usually successful at holding their possessions in the Aegean Sea, they were less successful on land.
