==== Greece ====
* Convicted in [[Sparta]] on the charge of accepting a bribe from the Aleudae family whilst leading an expedition to Thessaly against the family for their collaboration with the Persians, the Spartan King [[Leotychidas]] flees to the temple of [[Athena Alea]] in [[Tegea]], [[Arcadia (ancient region)|Arcadia]]. A sentence of exile is passed upon him; his house is razed, and his grandson, [[Archidamus II]], ascends the Spartan throne in his place.
* [[Cimon]] of [[Athens]] increases his power at the expense of [[Themistocles]]. He ousts [[Pausanias (general)|Pausanias]] and the Spartans from the area around the [[Bosporus]]. The Spartans, hearing that Pausanias is intriguing with the [[Achaemenid Empire|Persians]], recall him and he is "disciplined".
* Under the leadership of Kimon, the [[Delian League]] continues to fight Persia and to remove the [[Ionia]]n cities from Persian administration. The conquest of [[Eion]] on the [[Struma River|Strymon]] from Persia is led by Cimon.
