King Agesilaus
With the disintegration of Sparta, Thebes and Athens were left to fight over who should fill the space. Both cities wanted to establish new territory in the north, but both were counter-acting each other. If one side couldn’t gain the territory and influence it wanted, it would stop at nothing to prevent the other side from being successful.
In another twist, Athens formed an alliance with Sparta, and the two fought a great battle with Thebes at Mantinea in 362 BC. Though once more, Thebes was the victor, her leader Epaminondas was killed. With his death, the power and influence Thebes once had started to deteriorate.
Greece remained leaderless, and it seemed that those who wished to take control over her were unable to do so. Athens, Sparta and Thebes were all in no state to take control over Greece, as each had their own internal problems; Sparta being replenished of power and strength, Athens suffering problems arising from the Second Athens Naval Confederacy, and Thebes without its leader Epaminondas.
These cities were all incapable of leading Greece, and it became very obvious that unless a form of government was established which would preside over all of the city states, then Greece would actually start going backwards, where different city states would attack each other in order to gain overall power.There was a bright side however. A new power was brewing in the north. Macedon. And it was from here that a new age for Greece would let the emery died
