In the fifth century, the Spartans founded Herakleia Trachinia for motives which included desire for Delphic prestige, not necessarily of a crude political sort. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Mediterranean Historical Review is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
