Naxos, Battle of

Years: 376BCE - 376BCE

At the Battle of Naxos (376 BCE), the new Athenian fleet of Chabrias decisively defeats the Spartans.

This is the beginning of Athens's recovery of its Aegean hegemony following its loss in the Peloponnesian War.

The victory is decided by Phocion's courageous and skillful action on the left wing.

In western waters another great Athenian commander, Timotheus, wins the battle of Alyzia against Sparta in 374 BCE.

"In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these.”

— Paul Harvey, radio broadcast (before 1977)
