Mantinea, Arkadia, Peloponnesos, Greece, c. 340 - 325 B.C.
|Peloponnesos|, |Mantinea,| |Arkadia,| |Peloponnesos,| |Greece,| |c.| |340| |-| |325| |B.C.|, Mantineia was the site of two significant battles in Classical Greek history. The First Battle of Mantinea, in 418 B.C., was the largest land battle of the Peloponnesian War. After the Athenian commander was killed, due to greater Spartan courage, the battle turned into a rout. The Second Battle of Mantinea, in 362 B.C., led to the fall of Theban hegemony. In that battle, Athens and Sparta were allied. Thebes won the battle, but its greatest general, Epaminondas, was killed in the fighting. The Macedonian king Antigonus III Doson renamed the city Antigonia, but Mantineia's name was restored by Hadrian.
