Abstract

526 dictions of Greek political life. The very idea of autonomy itself was detrimental to such a peace, as long as the internal tensions in the cities made it feasible for injured parties to look for assistance in other autonomous communities. Even serious attempts in favour of the federal state rarely went to making the Common Peace effective. Tendencies towards new forms of international Greek communities were often mutually exclusive. Secondly, though one may rightly be sceptic as to the value of ideology and political thinking in fashioning the idea of Common Peace, I think the contribution of ideology has been underrated. Xenophon's interesting comments (Hell. VII 1, 27) on the failure of peace negotiations in Delphi (369) are hardly mentioned; apparently, some Greeks were deeply convinced that Delphi stood for moral and religious obligations in making peace and maintaining it. This comes out also in Xenophon's discussions of Prothous' arguments at the Peace in Sparta of 371, where, again, Delphi plays a role (Hell. VI 4, 2 ; cf. also Vect. V 7, II). Even if the question about political behaviour in inter-state relations was usually ignored in political philosophy, there was a growing consciousness that Hellas
