Spring 05: Aetolia surprises the Arcolian army who, while returning from their failed attempt to take Corinth, find their return to Pellae blocked.
The Attican fleet with the support from Arcolia force the Messenians out of Pylos.
Elia is denied access to the beautiful island of Ithaca where it is said that Odysseus was born and returned after his dreadful journey from Troy.
And the Boeotians in Marathon make a desperate dash at Athenae. Hence the word Marathon in today's vocabulary
