After BINDING: Sparta's long-invincible army was defeated at the battle of Leuktra, there was much in Sparta's Hardback & PDF eBook influence which was far from crushed. Not only did Sparta's confidence persist, as she agitated for centuries to renew her power; other states of the Peloponnese conducted their own foreign policies SIZE: in reaction either to Sparta's decline or, especially, to her resurgence - and to the prospect of further 6 x10 resurgence still. The book reveals continuity as regards Sparta in the foreign policies of Elis, most of Arkadia, Messenia, and the Achaian Confederacy. These definite patterns formed Peloponnesian PAGES: history far beyond the narrow relation of each community to Sparta: they also shaped the relation of 550 most major Peloponnesian powers to each other.
