The
Theban Hegemony (371-362)
was a short period in which the battlefield victories of Epaminondas
overthrew the power of Sparta, and made Thebes the most powerful state
in Greece. It began with the crushing Theban victory over a Spartan
army at Leuctra, and effectively ended with the death of Epaminondas at
the battle of Mantinea.
