Years: 705BCE - 694BCE
Eretria is to become the more prominent city in the home island of Euboea, while its allies Miletus and Megara prosper and soon colonize the best sites of the Bosporus. (An interesting modern suggestion has Lefkandi itself as the site of Old Eretria, abandoned about 700 BCE in favor of the classical site of Eretria at the east end of the plain, perhaps as a consequence of Eretria's defeat in the Lelantine War. This theory, however, needs to account for Herodotus' statement that at the early sixth-century entertainment of the suitors of Cleisthenes of Sicyon there was one Lysanias from Eretria, “then at the height of its prosperity.”)
