Years: 513BCE - 502BCE
The prosperity of Euboea, the large, mostly mountainous island adjacent to the east coast of the Greek mainland, has been checked by several decades of war, beginning about 700 BCE, between Chalcis and Eretria.
Though it lost influence in the West, Eretria may have emerged from the war the stronger power, but by the classical period, Chalcis has become the leading city of Euboea.
The Euboeans, having lost their former trade advantages on the mainland, are forced into an alliance with Boeotia and Sparta against Athens.
Athenians in 506 capture Chalcis and settle the Lelantine Plain with their own citizens.
