Peloponnesian League
In the Greco–Roman world of 5th century BC European classical antiquity, the city-state of Sparta was the "hegemon" of the Peloponnesian League (6th to 4th centuries BC) and King Philip II of Macedon was the hegemon of the League of Corinth in 337 BC (a kingship he willed to his son, Alexander the Great). Likewise, the role of Athens within the short-lived Delian League (478–404 BC) was that of a "hegemon".
