Examples of Delian League in the following topics:
-
- The violent actions of Spartan leader Pausanias at the siege of
Byzantium, for instance, alienated many of the Greek states from Sparta, and led
to a shift in the military command of the Delian League from Sparta to Athens.
- This set the stage for Sparta’s eventual withdrawal from the Delian League.
- The Spartans, although they had taken part in the
war, withdrew from the Delian League early on, believing that the war’s initial
purpose had been met with the liberation of mainland Greece and the Greek
cities of Asia Minor.
- Once Sparta
withdrew from the Delian League after the Persian Wars, it reformed the
Peloponnesian League, which had originally been formed in the 6th
century and provided the blueprint for what was now the Delian League.
- The Delian League was the basis for the Athenian Empire, shown here on the brink of the Peloponnesian War (c. 431 BCE).
-
- The Persian Wars led to the rise of Athens as the head of the Delian League.
- This formed
the basis for an exclusive Ionian "cultural league."
- In the course of doing so, Athens enrolled all the island states, and some mainland states, into an alliance called the Delian League—
so named because its treasury was kept on the sacred island of Delos,
whose
purpose was to continue fighting the Persian Empire, prepare for future
invasions, and organize a means of dividing the spoils of war.
- Historians
also speculate that Sparta was unconvinced of the ability of the Delian League
to secure long-term security for Asian Greeks.
- The Spartan withdrawal from the
League allowed Athens to establish unchallenged naval and commercial power within the Hellenic world.
-
- These victories enabled Athens to bring most of the Aegean, and many other parts of Greece, together in the Delian League, creating an Athenian-dominated alliance from which Sparta and its allies withdrew.
- Athens moved to abandon the pretense of parity among its allies, and relocated the Delian League treasury from Delos to Athens, where it funded the building of the Athenian Acropolis, put half its population on the public payroll, and maintained the dominant naval power in the Greek world.
- Originally intended as an association of Greek city-states to continue the fight against the Persians, the Delian League soon turned into a vehicle for Athens's own imperial ambitions and empire-building.
-
- The Greeks continued to expel
Persian forces from Greece and surrounding areas, but the actions of Spartan
General Pausanias at the siege of Byzantium alienated many of the Greek states
from the Spartans, causing the anti-Persian alliance to be reconstituted around
Athenian leadership in what became known as the Delian League.
- The Delian
League continued the campaign against the Persians for the next three decades.
-
- The Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE) was fought between
Athens and its empire, known as the Delian League, and the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta.
- The Argive democratic alliance was broken up, and most members were
reincorporated into Sparta’s Peloponnesian League, reestablishing Spartan
