In this episode, we discuss the first three years of the Korinthian War from 395-393 BC, including the Persian-backed formation of the Quadruple Alliance of Thebes, Korinth, Argos, and Athens against Spartan expansionism; the Theban victory at the Battle of Haliartos, resulting in the death of Lysandros; the recall of Agesilaos from Asia Minor; the battles of Nemea and Koroneia, in which the Spartans prevailed but failed to break the Allied coalition; the Persian naval victory at Knidos under the Athenian general Konon which destroyed Spartan sea power; the political upheaval in Korinth; and the reestablishment of Athens' navy, its Long Walls, and its maritime influence

111 The Spartan Hegemony
28/02/2024 | 2 h 18 min
In this episode, we discuss Spartan imperial policy at home and abroad in the aftermath of the Peloponnesian War from 404-396 BC, including the overreaching imperial ambitions of Lysandros and his political downfall; Sparta's retribution and influence operations in the Peloponnesos and northern Greece; the ascension of Agesilaos II to the throne; Sparta's domestic tensions and Kinadon's foiled socio-political revolution; and Sparta's ultimately ineffective invasion of Persian-controlled Asia Minor to "liberate" the Eastern Greeks, a consequence of which was Persia bankrolling a powerful new fleet under the command of the exiled Athenian general Konon
