- The Theban general and statesman, Epaminondas, takes command of Thebes. Pelopidas is elected boeotarch, or chief magistrate, of the city.
- Timotheus, the son of the Athenian general Conon, is elected strategos of Athens.
- A Spartan attempt to seize Piraeus brings Athens closer to Thebes. The Athenian mercenary, Chabrias, defeats the Spartans in the battle. In fighting the battle, Chabrias invents a new defensive technique; he orders each soldier to receive a charge kneeling on his left knee, with his shield resting on the ground and spear pointed at the enemy.
- Athens allies itself with Thebes and forms the Second Athenian Empire. The confederacy includes most of the Boeotian cities and some of the Ionian islands.
