Years: 355BCE - 355BCE

Philomelus had asked the priestess to prophesy for him but she refused and, when threatened by force, stated that he may do as he wishes.

Taking this as a pronouncement, Philomelus has enlisted the support of Sparta and Athens.

Hence, only in 355 does Thebes formally inaugurate the Third Sacred War against Phocis, more or less gratuitously.
