The Delian League Explained (Prelude to the Peloponnesian War)

The Delian League, founded in 478 BC, was an association of Greek city-states, numbering between 150 and 330, under the leadership of Athens, whose purpose was to continue fighting the Persian Empire after the Greek victory in the Battle of Plataea at the end of the Second Persian invasion of Greece. Shortly after its inception, Athens began to use the League's funds for its own purposes, which led to conflicts between Athens and the less powerful members of the League. ====================================== 📌Subscribe to the channel 📌Put 👍 and 🔔 ====================================== #ancientgreece #delianleague #pericles #audiobook
