Sacred Wars

a series of wars fought in Greece from the sixth through third centuries B.C. between the members of am-phictyonies, religious unions of tribes or cities, for hegemony within the amphictyonies and in Greece. Most of the wars were touched off by members’ violations of amphictyony decrees—hence the name “Sacred War”—or by violations of amphictyony sanctuaries or the plundering of treasuries. Best known are the wars of the Delphic-Pylaean amphictyony, a union centered around the sanctuary at Delphi; they were fought in 355–346 B.C. and 340–339 B.C..
