366 BCE
Other districts under federal systems join Boeotia: Euboea, Acarnania, Phocis, Thessaly, Arcadia, and Achaea.
However, this great block of military power is soon split by imperialist ambitions, and the Boeotian League itself intervenes in the Achaean League in 366, when Epaminondas invades the Peloponnese for a third time, with a view to strengthening the Theban position there.
He obtains assurances of fidelity from several states and, perhaps because of these assurances, decides not to overthrow the oligarchical governments that the Spartans have established.
This is unacceptable to the Theban government, which is in favor of overthrowing the oligarchs and establishing new democracies.
