Battle of Sepeia
At the Battle of Sepeia (c. 494 BC〔There is some uncertainty about the date: see ''Democracy Beyond Athens: Popular Government in the Greek Classical Age'' by Eric W. Robinson, pp. 7-9〕), the Spartan forces of Cleomenes I defeated the Argives, fully establishing Spartan dominance in the Peloponnese. The closest thing to a contemporaneous source for the description of the battle is, as for many events in this time period, the Histories of Herodotus (written approximately fifty years later, c. 440 BC).〔Herodotus, ''The Histories'', bk 6, 75-81, translated by G. C. Macaulay, available online at http://www.sacred-texts.com/cla/hh/hh6070.htm〕 According to Herodotus, the Spartan army tricked the Argives into believing that the Spartans were going to their evening meal, and when the Argives did the same, the Spartans picked up their weaponry and attacked them, gaining an overwhelming victory. The battle is a controversial one in terms of the Spartan legend for, according to Herodotus, Spartan King Cleomenes massacred the remaining Argives—most by burning them alive in the sacred grove of Argos to which they had fled for refuge.〔
