Years: 435BCE - 435BCE
Corinth attempts to control the strategically important Corcyran colony of Epidamnus on the coast of Illyria (a colony in which Corinth also had an interest, heretofore controlled jointly with the island of Corcyra (modern Corfu, or Kerkira), provoking a naval war instigated by the latter.
As the Corcyran fleet of eighty triremes moves on Epidamnus in 435, a Corinthian fleet of seventy-five ships attempts to relieve the colony but suffers a serious defeat at the Gulf of Ambracia (Arta).
