ARTICLES RELATED TO Epaminondas - Early career | | | |  Epaminondas - Early career: Encyclopedia II - Epaminondas - Early careerEpaminondas lived at a particularly turbulent point in Greek and Theban history. Following the end of the Peloponnesian War in 404 BC, Sparta had embarked upon an aggressively unilateralist policy towards the rest of Greece and quickly alienated many of its former allies. Thebes, meanwhile, had greatly increased its own power during the war and sought to gain control of the other cities of Boeotia (the central territory of ancient Greece). This policy, along with other disputes, brought Thebes into conflict with Sparta. By 395 BC Thebes, alo ...

Epaminondas - First Invasion of the Peloponnese.
For about a year after the victory at Leuctra, Epaminondas occupied himself with consolidating the Boeotian confederacy, compelling the previously Spartan-aligned polis of Orchomenus to join the league. In late 370 BC, however, as the Spartans under Agesilaus attempted to discipline their newly restive ally Mantinea, Epaminondas decided to capitalize on his victory by invading the Peloponnese and shattering Sparta's power once and for all. Forcing his way past the ...

| | | | Epaminondas - Early career: Encyclopedia II - Epaminondas - Legacy Extant biographies of Epaminondas universally describe him as one of the most talented men produced by the Greek city-states in their final 150 years of independence. In military affairs he stands above every other tactician in Greek history, with the possible exception of Philip of Macedon, although modern historians have questioned his larger strategic vision[23]. His innovative strategy at Leuctra allowed him to defeat the vaunted Spartan phalanx with a ...

Epaminondas - Peace Conference of 371.
No source states exactly when Epaminondas was first elected a Boeotarch, but by 371 BC he was in office and, the following year, leading the Boeotian delegation to a peace conference held at Sparta. A feeble attempt at a Common Peace had been made in 375, but desultory fighting between Athens and Sparta had resumed by 373 (at the latest). Thebes, meanwhile, was strengthening its confederation. By 371 Athens and Sparta were again war-weary, so a conference was called. There, ...

| | | | Epaminondas - Early career: Encyclopedia II - Epaminondas - Historical record Even though Epaminondas was a historically significant figure of his time there is comparatively little information about his life available to modern scholars, and no one ancient historian gives a complete picture. Some of the notable biographies include works by Nepos, Pausanias, Plutarch, Diodorus Siculus and Xenophon; not all of them have survived to the present day.
Cornelius Nepos's biography of Epaminondas was short, and a few more scraps of information can be found in Pausanias's Description of Greece. Plutarch wrote a ...

| | | | Epaminondas - Early career: Encyclopedia II - Epaminondas - Youth education and personal life Epaminondas' father Polymnis was an impoverished scion of an old Theban noble family. Nonetheless, in Epaminondas' youth he was provided with an excellent education; his musical teachers were among the best in their disciplines, as was his dance instructor. Most notably, his philosophy instructor Lysis of Tarentum (who had come to live with Polymnis in his exile) was one of the last major Pythagorean philosophers. Epaminondas was devoted to ...
