Athens at once attacked Naxos, and, after a stern struggle, brought it to sub- mission. But the conquered state teas not allowed to return into the union. It lost its vote in the congress, and became a mere subject of Athens. 195. The "Athenian Empire." — From time to time, other members of the league attempted secession, and met a fate like that of Naxos. Athens took away their fleets, leveled their walls, made them pay a small tribute. Sometimes such a city had to turn over its citadel to an ...Athenian garrison. Usually a subject city was left to manage its internal govern- ment in its own way ; but it could no longer have political alliances with other cities. 198 THE GREEKS — ATHENIAN LEADERSHIP [§196 Just how many such rebellions there were we do not know; but before long the loyal cities found themselves treated much like those that had rebelled. The confederacy of equal states became an empire, icith Athens for its ^'ti/rant city.''^ The meetings of the congress ceased altogether.
