It was surrendered without a blow by the satrap Abulites.580.It consisted in the allotment of land in conquered or subject countries to certain bodies of Athenians who continued to retain all their original rights of citizenship.Philip at once acquired by it military glory, a reputation for piety, and an accession of power.His early education was entrusted to Leonidas, a kinsman of his mother, a man of severe and parsimonious character, who trained him with Spartan simplicity and hardihood; whilst Lysimachus, a sort of under-governor, early inspired the young prince with ambitious notions, by teaching him to dre beats love and emulate the heroes of the Iliad.He had inherited the military genius of his father, and was undoubtedly the greatest commander of his time.

The Achaean league still subsisted but was destined before long to experience the same fate as its rival.He transmitted the sovereign power to his sons, Hippias and Hipparchus, who conducted the government on the same principles as their father.At first he listened to the counsels of Dion, who had always enjoyed the respect and confidence of his father.His father was an opulent merchant, and Pythagoras himself travelled extensively in the East.They readily granted to the Spartans the supreme command of the forces by sea as well as by land, although they furnished two- thirds of the vessels of the entire fleet.Sparta confessed her inability to compel the Boeotians and Corinthians to accede to the peace, or even to restore the town of Amphipolis.
