阿卡狄亚的“双城记”:古典时代的曼提尼亚与泰该亚

A Tale of Two Cities in Arkadia:Mantineia and Tegea in the Classical Period

古典时代,曼提尼亚与泰该亚的关系经历了从对立到合作,再从合作到对立的转变。在公元前5世纪和公元前4世纪前30年的对立中,两邦不仅发生了战争冲突,在处理同斯巴达关系时也采取了截然相反的政策。流克特拉战役后,在内外因素的影响下,曼提尼亚和泰该亚暂放隔阂,建立了阿卡狄亚历史上唯一一个地区性国家——阿卡狄亚同盟,并坚持反斯巴达政策。然而,随着斯巴达威胁的减弱和同盟内部矛盾的积聚,曼提尼亚和泰该亚再次对立,阿卡狄亚同盟走向分裂。

In the Classical period, the relation between Mantineia and Tegea changed from hostility to cooperation, then from cooperation to confrontation. During the fifth century BC and the former three decades of the fourth century BC, Mantineia and Tegea were in opposition to each other, which resulted in their war and opposite policies toward Sparta. After the battle of Leuctra, under the influence of internal and external factors, Mantieia and Tegea temporarily bridged the gap, established together the only regional country in Arkadian history the Arkadian League, and sticked to anti -Sparta policy. However, with the falling of Sparta and the increasing internal contradictions among the Arkadian League, the mutual antagonism between Mantineia and Tegea arose again, and the League split apart.
