Abstract


In this paper we offer a reconstruction and an analysis of the geopolitical framework, founded in the whole literary sources and not only in the contemporary but biased account of Xenophon’s Hellenica, of two of the most conspicuous pitched battles of the ancient Greek world, namely those of Nemea and Coroneia, both of them were fighted in 394 B. C., during the so-called Corinthian War, and both of them are illustrative and paradigmatic of what a clash between two hoplite phalanxes means.
