Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Croto Kataks thought for a while, and couldn't help but straighten his chest. He seemed to be proud of his mission, but he then asked: "But many cases are complicated, how can we guarantee that we are Do you want to be fair and just in the final ruling?"

Davers was satisfied with his son's diligence and quick questioning. He quickly replied: "There must be more learning, more thinking, more experience, and more listening to become a wise and determined arbiter."

Croto Kataks has a heart, thoughtful.

Davers talked about **** at the moment, and then asked: "I can see that you admire Lucias quite admired."

"Yes, father." Croto Kataks said happily: "The teacher Lucias has a wealth of knowledge and a savvy mind, not only in rhetoric and forensics, but also in his teaching. It’s also fun and interesting.”

"Lucias is a well-known scholar in Greece and the pride of the Kingdom of Dionia." Daves said calmly, then turned around: "What do you think of Kuno Gorata?"

"Keno Golata is your father's best helper. Everyone said that 'the Senate can't miss him.' His departure is a big loss for our kingdom!" Croto Kataks looked heavy Said.

"So if you stand in the perspective of the kingdom of governance, do you prefer Cunora Gorta or do you prefer Lucias?"

This problem of Daves once again stumped Croto Catax, and he pondered for a moment, still did not answer.

"Children, you didn't answer this question according to your preference, indicating that you are beginning to realize it!" Daves nodded gratifiedly. "Keno Golata does not have the profound knowledge of Lucias, nor Lucias. The reputation of the whole of Greece, but he has worked diligently to govern Diaonia for more than a decade, and has made great contributions to the prosperity of the kingdom! There are many more common public officials in Coyotea like Coonorata. They obsessedly contributed their strength to the power of the kingdom. It is because of them that today the Kingdom of Dioria can create a platform for the famous Greek scholars such as Lucias to display their talents and make them a kingdom. Create a more splendid culture, attract the backward barbarians to return, and make the people's lives better!..."

Croto Kataks pondered for a while, looked at his father and said seriously: "I know, Master Kuno Gorata and Lucias are equally important, but like Master Kuno Gorata. Citizens are the cornerstone of the kingdom. Without them, there is no kingdom of Dionia!"

"The cornerstone!" Dafoss praised: "The image of the image is very obvious. It seems that you have already understood it. When attending the funeral, you must have such a mentality!"

"Talking about the debate, this is a good thing." Daphus also advised: "You can exercise your mind, understand the truth, and convince the other person. But don't be too addicted to it, and eventually become a debate for debate, only empty talk. People, but remember that 'doing a real thing is worth a thousand words!'

"Yes, father." Croto Kataks answered again with respect.

"Your father and son are chatting with each other, they are thirsty." Clithista and Cynthia didn't know when to wash a basket of grapes and apples and put them on the stone table: "Come and eat some fruit!"

"Let's go, don't let your mother wait for a long time, or you will be embarrassed," Daves joked.

Croto Katex smiled.

At the end of the Corinth War, Sparta tried his best to surrender to Persia and gain Persian support. Eventually, the war ended, Sparta and the anti-Spartan alliance signed a "big king contract" to force its two most important enemies. - Argos and Thebes each dismantled their regional alliances, while allowing Athens to retain the sovereignty of the northern Aegean islands. Three important Greek states are either weak or unwilling to work with Sparta. In the right place, Sparta has once again become the hegemon of the Greek native.

Of course, this practice of holding Persian thighs and regaining the throne does not convince other city-states. Many city-states are circulating a saying: "Persia is turning Sparta into the Persian Sparta."

The Spartans certainly heard these gossips, even though Agassius forcibly defended, claiming that "Sparta is trying to turn Persia into Spartan Persia."

However, Sparta’s prestige in the Greek city-state has dropped significantly, even in the ally.

In order to reinvigorate the image of the hegemon, Sparta must take action. It targets the city of Mandini in the Arcadia region of central Peloponnese, accusing the former affiliated ally of not complying in all respects. And loyal to Sparta, so forced it to demolish the city wall and re-loyal Sparta.

After being sternly rejected by the Mantinians, King Sparta Agsipolis led the army to invade Mandini. After the failure of the storm, he ordered the soldiers to block the upper reaches of a river flowing through Mandanya, eventually flooding Mandonia and completely destroying the city.

This horrendous atrocity really shocked many city-states in Greece. The horrible and **** memories of the Spartans have once again come to mind, especially in the city-states on the Peloponnese, who have not taken the initiative to provoke Sparta. Authoritative behavior.

But becoming the hegemon of Peloponnese does not satisfy the desires of the Spartans. There has always been a huge shadow in the hearts of the kings and elders of Sparta, that is, the Kingdom of Dionia. Although both Dionia and Sparta are now allies, both sides are well aware that this alliance is not a long-term friendship but a short-term interest, and the Kingdom of Dionia continues to grow, which urges The Spartans had to integrate more of the Greek power to counter the mighty kingdom of the rise of the Western Mediterranean, so they turned their eyes to the north of the Peloponnese.

And just at this time, there was an emissary group in the Spartan territory. This messenger group came from the wilderness of the northwest corner of the Aegean Sea.

Macedonia is a country that is far from the core of Greek culture and is located on the northern border of Greece. Both ordinary Greeks and well-known scholars believe that this is a barbaric country and thus despise them. But the Macedonians are so admired that Greece, not only their kings have always claimed to be descendants of the royal family of Argos (in the antiquity era, many Greek city-states united and chose the Argos as the lord because of the prince There is a glorious past. Since the return of the descendants of Hercules, almost all the important Greek kings have come from Argos, such as King Atheman, the king of Mycenae, which is also the Argos who often blame them. The reason why the Bada people are noble), the Macedonian people often regard the Greeks who settled in the Macedonian territory as distinguished guests.

However, the Macedonian respect for Greece is not valued by the Greek states, because although it has a large territory and a large population, it is the Illyrians, the Dadarians and the Thracians who live next to it. At the northern end, there are still drifting Celts. These races are not only fierce, but also numerous. The long-term invasion and harassment have made the Macedones cope, and their country has been in war for a long time. development of.

In the nine years of the Kingdom of Dionia (384 BC), the Macedonian royal family colluded with the Illyrians and launched a larger invasion, expelling Macedonian King Amintas from Macedonia. Before the king fled Macedonia, he was robbed in order to keep Macedonia's towns. In order to gain the support of the Greeks, he signed an agreement with the neighboring Karkidike alliance in southeastern Macedonia to bring the Macedonian low-lying areas and coastal areas. The town was handed over to the Caldijk League.

The Kaldike League was originally an alliance of Greek city-states on the Kalkidike Peninsula. The alliance stipulated that members should be completely equal, trade, help each other and jointly defend against foreign enemies. But with the participation of some towns in Macedonia, the strength of the Kalkidike alliance has been strengthened, and it has benefited Olympus, a strong state in the heart of the Kalkidijk Peninsula.

The Olympus began to hope to build a larger alliance that encompassed the entire Kaldiki Peninsula and its surrounding areas. Of course, this alliance must be led by Olympus.

And a year later (the decade of the Kingdom of Dionia), the Macedonian king Amintas regained the throne with the help of Thessaly and the Caldicks. www.readwn.com~ Amintas is firmly in the throne Later, I wanted to take back the land I had given before, which was rejected by the city of Kalkidike, headed by Olympus.

At this time, the Sesali people also helped Amintas to appeal to the Tarkidicks. Although the two countries of Thessaly and Macedonia have border conflicts from time to time, the Sesali people are very clear: once their neighbor Macedonia’s power is too weak to be able to resist the fierce Elysian, against Thessaly and Karl. The Kiddick League is not good.

The Persian persuasion has shaken some of the city-states in the Kaldicid League, especially the two city-states, Akantus and Apollonia, who are worried that the strength of Olympus will grow rapidly. Leading the entire Kaldike League, he secretly sent a suggestion to Amintas: requesting intervention from Sparta.

Therefore, the Macedonian messenger came to Sparta.

In this regard, the Spartan Elders Council met to discuss.

The Macedonian messenger convinced the Spartans with almost no words. Because the painful lessons of the Corinthian war made Sparta oppose any form of Greek city-state alliance and alliance, and even they wrote this opinion into the "great king peace treaty", but also forced Argos and Thebes to break up the alliance, but now they are Come out of a Caldik League.
