The Battle of Boeotia was an engagement which took place in Boeotia around 426 BCE, fought by the forces of Sparta against Boeotia, who were allies with Athens.

History

Following the disappearance of Nikolaos after the Battle of Megara, his step-son Stentor was appointed as polemarch of the army and was dispatched to conquer Boeotia, who were allies of Athens and the Delian League.

In 429 BCE, the Spartan misthios Kassandra was dispatched by King Archidamos and Pausanias to assist the Spartans in Boeotia in order to redeem herself and claim back her home in Sparta.

Stentor set Kassandra on the Champions of Boeotia, a group of four individuals who had garnered fame and the support of the Boeotians, and who sided with Athens. By killing them, Stentor reasoned, Sparta had a chance of conquering Boeotia.

Behind the scenes

While there is no known historical analogue for this confrontation, there were a few battles during this timeframe nearby, notably the Siege of Plataea and the Battle of Tanagra. The novel describes the event similar to the order of battle of the Battle of Delium but then explicitly mentions the Battle of Delium happening at a later date.
