Throughout the history of Ancient Greece there were between 1500 and 2000 city-states established. Some flourished, others floundered, were abandoned, were destroyed, or were united with other city-states to form kingdoms and leagues.
In the Peloponnesus, the kingdom of Sparta conquered many of the smaller villages on the two peninsulas to the south and finally the Messenians, including Ithome and Pylos, to the west, joining them into the Spartan League. Further north the city state of Argos united under it the ancient cities of Mycenae and Tiryns. Athens took possession of the little city-kingdoms on the Attic peninsula, including Eleusis, Decelea and Marathon, creating the Athenian League. And to the north of Athens a fourth union, the Boeotian League, was led by Thebes, uniting her with Delium, Aulis, Thespiae and Plataea, among others.
