Battle of Mantinea (362 BC)
The Battle of Mantinea was fought in 362 BC between the Thebans, led by Epaminondas and supported by the Arcadians and the Boeotians, and the Spartans, led by King Agesilaus II and supported by the Eleans, Athenians, and Mantineans. The battle had to decide the hegemony over Greece, but the death of Epaminondas and the defeat of the Spartans paved the way for the Macedonian conquest.
