Prelude to War:
The Delian League
Social studies for 9th – Teacher: Mauricio Torres
After Persia
 After the Persian Wars 480 B.C., the Greeks
wanted to make sure they were ready if the
Persians ever returned. The Greek city-states
formed the Delian League.
Ancient Greece
The Delian League
 The purpose of the Delian League was to put
money into a shared treasury, to have on hand in
case of war.
 It took money to make weapons and ships and to
train men. The Greeks wanted to be ready to fund a
war instantly.
Saving the Money
 Athens guarded the treasury. Corinth probably would have been a
better choice for many reasons. First, Corinth was famous for being
good with money. They had a bank. They were not constantly at war
with Sparta, as was Athens. Athens and Sparta simply could not get
along.
 But Athens did not discuss who would guard the treasury. They
simply started collecting monies from the other city-states, as well as
from themselves. Corinth was not happy about this, but they did
nothing to stop it. And Sparta could care less who held the money -
they just wanted it protected.
Athenians Grow
Stronger Pericles was a young and talented
Athenian. He was a leader. He
encouraged his people to build a wall to
defend the city of Athens from attack
should one come. At the same time, he
traveled to Sparta, and convinced the
Spartans to grant a peace of 30 years, to
give everyone in the Greek world a chance
to recover from the Persian Wars. That
success made him famous in the ancient
Greek world. Pericles was a persuasive
speaker!
 It was a time of great prosperity for the
people of Athens. They were loaded with
wealth. They were at peace.
Art, poetry, philosophy - everything
flourished. They built wonderful buildings
on the Acropolis, the rocky hill overlooking
Golden Age
Athenians Grow
Stronger At first, Sparta was fine with
Athens guarding the treasury.
Athens only kept 1/60th of the
money pouring in from the
various city-states to pay for
guards. They reported
promptly to all the city-states
on what money had been paid
and by whom.
 But in a short amount of
time, the treasury grew so
large that even 1/60th of it
was a lot of money! Athens
grew rich guarding the
treasury of the Delian league.
Picking a Fight
 One day, Athens and Sparta quarreled about
something. Fuss fuss fuss - that's was Athens and
Sparta. It was an insignificant quarrel. It was not
over the treasury. It was not over anything really.
But this quarrel started a war between Athens and
Sparta that lasted over 25 years - the
Peloponnesian War.
Ask Yourself
 Recall:
 Who was Pericles?
 What was the purpose of the Delian League?
 Analyze:
 How did Athens grow so strong?
 Spartans did not acre who saved the money. What does this tell you
about them?
 Evaluate:
 Do you thinks Spartans and Athenians hated each other so much
that they used a small excuse to go to war?
 Draw Conclusions:
 Why was Corinth an ideal candidate to take care of the money?
