The war's first battle was the Spartan attack on Ampheia, a swift night march brought them to the gates of the city, which stood open. There was no garrison, nor were they in any way expected. The first sign the Ampheians had of war was the Spartans rousing people out of bed to kill them.

The Spartans sacked the city then turned it into a garrison for the conduct of further operations against Messenia.

When the news of Ampheia spread a crowd gathered at the capital, Stenykleros were addressed by the king, Euphaes. to encourage the people to be true men and under arms arranged for their training.

**Summer of 739 BCE** Euphaes resolved to bring the war to the Spartans at Ampheia

The Spartans were denying the Messenians use of the countryside for agriculture. Subsequent events show that this denial was untenable in the long term for the Messenians. They needed to strike a blow to remove the Spartan presence from their country.

Euphaes judged that his army was sufficiently trained to oppose the Spartan professional soldiers. He readied an expedition and subsequently marched out of the capital in what must have been the direction of Ampheia.

The Spartans on the other hand were tracking his every movement. They sent immediately for reinforcements from Sparta, who marched directly for the enemy, encountering the Messenians in Ithome. and Taygetus. Their approach was no surprise to Euphaes. Choosing his ground carefully he selected a site with one side bordering an impassable ravine between the Messenians and the Spartans.

King of Sparta Alcamenes told them that the key to their peace was the daughter of Aristodemus, Ithome who he wanted as wife.

when Aristodemus returned to Messenia he killed his daughter and went to the mountain that the army of Messenia was and said "i rather kill my own child rather to see it as a slave to Alcamenes." (The Mountain took Ithome's name)

Upon hearing of this, the Spartans waited for the Olympic Games to end and 100 days later when the truce was ended they made a long march under their kings and killing the Messenian king Euphaes.

Aristodemus was made the new Messenian king and led an offensive strike, meeting the enemy and driving them back into their own territory.
