Years: 371BCE - 371BCE
Thespiae had become autonomous as stipulated in the King's Peace of 386 BCE that resolved the Corinthian War, maintaining autonomy until 373 BCE, when the Thebans had subdued the city.
Exiled from Boeotia, the Thespians had arrived in Athens along with the Plataeans seeking aid.
Still, they send a contingent to fight against the Spartans at the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BCE.
The Boeotarch Epaminondas allows the Thespians to withdraw before the battle, along with other Boeotians who nurse a grudge against Thebes.
The city is restored at some later point.
