-
Remember there were these grievances
-
that lingered from the end of the Peloponnesian War
-
when Spartan allies like Corinth and Thebes had been very
-
dissatisfied with the way the booty had been shared
-
that came from the defeat of the Athenians,
-
and you remember those two cities were aggrieved also
-
because the Spartans ignored their wishes as to what should
-
happen to Athens and went their own way there too.
-
I think I mentioned as well that
-
in all contacts with non-Spartans in this period,
-
the Spartans seemed to be very arrogant, very hard to get along with,
-
and they certainly inspire considerable unhappiness and discontent.
