Siege of Mantinea

The siege of Mantinea occurred in 385 BC, and resulted in a victory of the Spartans over the city of Mantinea, which was defeated and dismembered.

[1] On this occasion, Epaminondas, then fighting on the side of the Spartans, famously rescued his fellow Theban Pelopidas.

[2][3] Mantinea had been opposed to the Spartans in the Peloponesian War.

[4] However, the Arcadians were able to recover and restored their city after the Battle of Leuctra and the defeat of Spartan hegemony.
