The peace of Antalcidas (386)
Xen. Hell. V.1.36
From a condition which, during the war,
can only be described as a sort of even
balance with their antagonists, the
Lacedaemonians now emerged; and
reached a pinnacle of glory consequent
upon the Peace of Antalcidas, so called.
As guarantors of the peace presented by
Hellas to the king, and as administrators
personally of the autonomy of the states,
they had added Corinth to their alliance;
they had obtained the independence of
the states of Boeotia at the expense of
Thebes, which meant the gratification of
an old ambition.
