レウクトラの戦い
Having been granted land here by the Lacedaemonians (Spartans), who controlled the area following the Peloponnesian war, Xenophon lived for approximately 30 years in the city (400 - 371 BCE, expelled after Sparta was defeated at the Battle of Leuctra) and resided later there following his adventures in Asia, for which he was exiled by the Athenians on account of the help which he brought to Cyrus the Younger, an enemy of Athens, which was allied to the King of Persia, Artaxerxes II.
