A History of Battle in Classical Antiquity (Yale university Press 2005. oeboys were whipped to inculcate respect (aidos) and obedience;
. and was repulsed by a mainly Athenian force at the Battle of marathon in 490 B c. The second invasion was launched by Xerxes in 480 B c. the Persians crossing the Hellespont (the narrow strait between the Aegean
Ancient sources indicate that Leonidas started the battle with a few thousand troops (including 300 Spartans at its core.
He faced a Persian force many times its size. After spying on the Spartan-led force
if they would surrender Xerxes ordered an attack. The oemedes rushed forward and charged the Greeks
The struggle however continued during the whole day wrote Herodotus. Translation by George Rawlinson) After this beaten force withdrew Xerxes sent an elite unit called the oeimmortals after the Spartan-led force but they too failed.
Herodotus noted the battle tactics the Spartans employed. oethe Lacedaemonians fought in a way worthy of note
and showed themselves far more skillful in fight than their adversaries often turning their backs and making as though they were all flying away on
Eventually a Greek man showed Xerxes a pass that allowed part of the Persian force to outmaneuver the Greeks and attack them on both flanks.
A Greek naval victory at the Battle of Salamis halted this approach the Persian king Xerxes going home
 When the threat from the Persians receded the Greeks resumed their inter-city rivalries.
The Battle of Tanagra fought in 457 B c. heralded a period of conflict between the two cities that continued off and on for more than 50 years.
At times Athens appeared to have the advantage such as the battle of Sphacteria in 425 B c
It was the opinion that no force or famine could make the Lacedaemonians give up their arms
Ultimately the conflict between Sparta and Athens resolved itself on the sea. While the Athenians had the naval advantage throughout much of the war the situation changed
A series of events and missteps led Sparta from being the preeminent force in the Aegean to becoming a second rate power.
The city was forced to surrender against this unorthodox onslaught. More challenges affected Spartan hegemony. In 378 B c. Athens formed the second naval confederacy a group that challenged Spartan control of the seas.
and in 371 B c. a pivotal battle took place at Leuctra. oethe power of Lacedaemon was shattered by Thebes upon the field of Leuctra.
With confusion in the Spartan lines the slaughter was on. oecleombrotus fighting in the phalanx as Spartan kings did was struck down
