The Corinthian War was a conflict between an expansionist Sparta and her allies and the combined alliance of Athens, Corinth, Thebes, and Argos. The war took place between 395 to 387 BC and involved forces on land and sea. The land warfare mostly took place near Corinth and Thebes while the ocean battles took place around the Aegean.
Corinth and Athens were the second and largest fleet in Ancient Greece respectively. They were well established naval powers. Sparta on the other hand was attempting to build their Naval power to align with their abilities on land. Most of the Spartan ships were tribute from allied city-states from the Aegean.
Not all battles of these ancient wars were properly recorded and many were lost to the mists of time. The action below is one such battle. This will be a Trireme fight between the forces of Sparta and the Alliance using Poseidon's Warriors from Osprey. YOu can see previous Corinthian War battle reports here and here.
