THE BATTLE OF LEUCTRA, 371 BC: The Collapse of Sparta's Empire and the Rise of the Theban Hegemony
Thebes was stubbornly resilient in the face of Sparta's cruelty and not only survived Spartan occupation, but soon overthrew Sparta and aimed to shatter her empire. Against the odds, Thebes succeeded. Her victory boiled down to the indomitable spirit of two men: the irreproachable general Epaminondas and the cunning statesman Pelopidas.
