-The '''Battle of Delium''' in 424 B.C. was part of the [[Second Peloponnesian War]] between the [[Greek]] [[city states]] of [[Athens]] and [[Sparta]].  The Athenians were on a roll having won consecutive battles at [[Battle of Pylos|Pylos]] and [[Battle of Sphacteria|Sphacteria]].  They planned convergent attacks against Boeotia as they had tried in 426 B.C., but once again were unsuccessful after the Theban general [[Pagondas]] defeated the Athenian army under [[Hippocrates]], who was killed.
