It started in 330 BC when the
Lacedaemonians (Spartans) endeavored to create a rising in Greece
against the Macedonian power.
Agis thought the timing was perfect,
taking advantage of Alexander's absence. Agis had the financial
support of the Persians and the military support of Greek
mercenaries.
Agis rallied a coalition and laid siege
to Megalopolis. But it wasn't enough, the Macedonians won the battle
of Megalopolis and Spartan king Agis was killed in battle.
It was a narrow victory and a
hard-fought battle.
Here is the map location of Megalopolis,
look for the box "Bc".
