| What were the aims of the Delian League? | To compensate themselves for their losses by ravaging the territory of the King. Build an allied navy and free Ionians. Divide the spoils of war. Get revenge. Prepare for future invasion. |
| What were the original agreements? | Athens would be hegemon. Allied congress and treasury on Delos. Athenians would assess allied tributes. Voluntary to join. Allies would be treated equally and independently. |
| Why was Athens chosen to lead the League? | The allies hated Spartan King Pausanias. Athens share a common descent with the Ionians. Athens had a good navy and good leaders. Athens had a good geographical position. Sparta didn't want the responsibility. There was no one else to do it. |
| What happened in Eion in 476 BC? Was it constitutional? | CONSTITUTIONAL Athens invaded to remove the Persians from mainland Greece and also removed a potential Persian base. Cleruchy of Amphipolis was set up. Inhabitants were enslaved but it is unknown whether the profits were shared equally. |
| What happened in Scyros in 474 BC? Was it constitutional? | STRICTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. There was no direct Persian threat. It removed pirates from the North Aegean. Cleruchy was set up. Cimon bought back Theseus' bones = a religious Athenian motive. |
| What happened in Carystus in 472 BC? Was it constitutional? | TECHNICALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL They had been pro-Persian during the wars so a revenge attack not opposed. More advantageous to Athens. Early sign of Athenian aggression. Forced into the League. Had to pay tribute. |
| What happened in Naxos in 469 BC? Was it constitutional? | TECHNICALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL 'The first time Athens broke the constitution of the League' The threat of Persia had not been removed so there should be no opposition. Surrendered. Lost independence. Forced to pay tribute. Fleet confiscated. |
| What happened at the Battle of Eurymedon in 468 BC? | Marked what should have been the end of the D.L Athens and allies defeated Persian army and fleet. Spoils not divided equally = Athens built Acropolis Walls and Long Walls. |
| What happened in Thasos in 465-463 BC? Was it constitutional? | UNCONSTITUTIONAL Caused by a private disagreement with Athens. Besieged by Cimon for economic and trade advantages. Sparta promised to help but couldn't due to helot revolt or earthquake. Forced to surrender. Walls were torn down. Fleet confiscated and had to pay a fine. Athens were clearly acting for their own benefit. |
| Why did Spartan-Athenian relations start to deteriorate in 461 BC? | Sparta asked their allies for help with a Helot revolt. Cimon, left Athens with 4000 Athenian hoplites to help. When they got there they were the only ones asked to return home. This was possibly because Sparta feared their democratic ideas. Cimon was exiled because of this and Pericles who was very anti-Spartan became the leading statesman. The league became anti-Spartan after this point and formed an alliance with Argos. |
| What happened with the Campaign in Egypt and was it constitutional? | CONSTITUTIONAL It was in favour of a revolt against the Persians and was broadly in line with the aims of the League despite there no longer being a need for it. Ended in failure and Cimon died. Athenians now focused solely on securing power in Greece. |
| What happened in Aegina in 458 BC? Was it constitutional? | UNCONSTITUIONAL It was nicknamed the eyesore of Piraeus and Athens invaded so that they could expand their influence. Besieged and their walls torn down and fleet confiscated. Forced to enter the League and pay tribute of 30 talents which was the highest ever recorded. Resulted in the Battle of Tanagra and Athens were victors. |
| When was the treasury and allied congress moved from Delos and what did this mean for the allies? | It was moved in 454 BC. The tribute was for Athenian use only and the League was now under the guardianship of Athena rather than Apollo. No evidence for allied congress suggests that Athens made all the decisions. The League became an empire as states were treated as subjects not equals. |
| How were the allies to blame for the Athenian Empire? | They grew tired of fighting and were more than happy to provide money to Athens. The allies became unwarlike making Athens stronger and they began treating the allied states as subjects rather than allies. |
| What were the true Athenian motives? | There was clear intention from the start to benefit themselves more than others. The League definitely became more of an empire when Pericles took over as he wanted to consolidate power. Some actions however were in line with the constitution of the Delian League. |
| How did the Spartan-Athenian relationship change? | Peace of Callias in 449 BC = Peace between Athens and Persia meaning there wasn't a need for the League. The Sacred War in 448 BC = Increased tensions as Sparta didn't want the Delphic Oracle to be an attraction but Athens did. Megera and Euboea revolted. 30 Years Peace 445 BC = Eased tensions between Athens and Sparta. |
