Thasos, Thrace, c. 404 - 355 B.C.
|Thasos|, |Thasos,| |Thrace,| |c.| |404| |-| |355| |B.C.|, In 411 B.C., Thasos revolted from Athens and received a Lacedaemonian governor. In 407 B.C. Spartans were expelled and the Athenians readmitted. After the Battle of Aegospotami in 405 B.C., Thasos again fell under the Lacedaemonians led by Lysander who formed a decarchy there. Athens must have recovered it, for later it was one of the subjects of dispute with Philip II of Macedonia.
