Epaminondas had sent Pammenes at the head …
Years: 354BCE - 354BCE
Epaminondas had sent Pammenes at the head of one thousand picked troops to defend Megalopolis when the city was founded, as it was apprehended that the Spartans would attack those engaged in that work.
A party among the Megalopolitans, who are for dissolving the community and returning to their own cantons, call upon the Mantineans and other Peloponnesians for aid in 352 BCE.
The Megalopolitans opposed to this dissolution of the state call in the aid of the Thebans, who send Pammenes with three thousand foot soldiers and three hundred cavalry to their assistance.
Pammenes with this force overcomes all resistance and compels the return of those who had left Megalopolis.
