On the Peace with Sparta (18)

And she is sacrificing this supremacy, not because we forced her to do so, but in order to give the whole of Greece its independence. The Spartans have now won three battles: the first at Corinth[*] against the full allied forces, who were left with no excuse for their defeat, save only that the Spartans, with none to aid them, fought more bravely than all the rest together; the second in Boeotia under Agesilaus,[*] when they once more gained a similar victory; and the third at the capture of Lechaeum,[*] against the full Argive and Corinthian forces, together with the Athenians and Boeotians present.
