The Corinthian War: Sparta's Empire Crumbles

In 395 BCE, Sparta's brutal hegemony after the Peloponnesian War sparked a coalition of former allies and enemies: Athens, Thebes, Corinth, and Argos. This episode dives into the Corinthian War, a chaotic conflict that saw Persian gold financing Greek triremes, the stunning Spartan naval defeat at Knidos, and the rise of the Athenian general Konon, who rebuilt the Long Walls with Persian help. We explore the Battle of Nemea and the Battle of Koroneia—two massive hoplite clashes that ended in bloody stalemate—and the Peace of Antalkidas, a 'King's Peace' imposed by Persia that gutted Greek autonomy. Lucas and Luna untangle the alliances, betrayals, and shifting loyalties that left Sparta dominant but exhausted, and Athens resurgent but dependent on Persian silver. #CorinthianWar #Sparta #Athens #Thebes #Corinth #Argos #Persia #Agesilaus #Konon #Knidos #PeaceOfAntalkidas #BattleOfNemea #BattleOfKoroneia #ArtaxerxesII #PeloponnesianWar #GreekHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
