Cor- inth was beaten; ^gina was subjected and compelled to enter the Delian league. Then Sparta took a hand in the war, by entering Boeotia with an army, on the pre- tence of punishing the Phocians, but really to organize Boeotia against Athens. Though the Spartans defeated the Athenians at Tan'a-gra in 457 b. C, they accomplished 170 Age of Pericles nothing. Two months later, however, the Athenians crushed the Boeotians decisively at CE-noph'y-ta, and by restoring the aristocratic exiles, subs...tituted their own suzerainty for that of Thebes in all the B(Eotian cities. Phocis and Locris also submitted to Athens. Soon after, the Achaean cities on the southern coast of the Corin- thian gulf joined her. Thus Athenian influence on land extended over a wide territory. But it was also very unstable. Accordingly, when Argos concluded a thirty years' peace with Sparta in 450 B. C. , a five years' truce was also arranged by Athens. Three years later, how- ever, Boeotia revolted, whereupon Megara, Locris and Failure of Phocis as Well as Euboea fell away.
