477 BCE to 334 BCE

Lack of political unity within Greece results in frequent conflict between Greek states.

The most devastating intra-Greek war is the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BCE), won by Sparta and marking the demise of the Athenian Empire as the leading power in ancient Greece.

Both Athens and Sparta are later overshadowed by Thebes and eventually Macedon, with the latter uniting the Greek world in the League of Corinth (also known as the Hellenic League or Greek League) under the guidance of Phillip II, who is elected leader of the first unified Greek state in history.
