The Delian League was an association of Greek poleis–city-states–aligned with Athens leading up to, and during, the Peloponnesian War. Many of the League's more influential and powerful leaders were secretly, members of the Cult of Kosmos.[1]
The League was created in 478 BCE to combat the Persians. It was originally made up of Ionian cities and the Aegean Islands, who in turn supplied money and supplies for the joint war efforts.[1]
Centered in Attika, Athens' heavy-handed dominance of its fellow League members and it rising power eventually led to the outbreak of war with Sparta's Peloponnesian League in 431 BCE.[2]
