The defeat of this power at the hands of a Macedon
The defeat of this power at the hands of a Macedonian-led coalition in 222 BCE at Sellasia ended a brief period of revival under Agis and Cleomenes. Its decline began in 372, after its defeat at Leuctra by Epaminandas and the Thebans, which led to its losing control over Messenia and much of its helot population. With a constitution attributed to Lycurgus, its greatest moment may have been the suicidal but necessary stand by Leonidas and 300 men at Thermopylae against the Persians. For ten points, identify the militaristic Greek city-state that defeated Athens in the Peloponnesian War.
