Battle of Nemea
Part of the Corinthian War
The Athenian cavalryman Dexileos fighting an hoplite.[1] Dexileos was killed in action near Corinth in the summer of 394 BC during the Corinthian War. Dexileos probably died in the Battle of Nemea itself,[1] or in a proximate engagement.[2] Grave Stele of Dexileos, early 4th century BC.
The Battle of Nemea (394 BC), also known in ancient Athens as the Battle of Corinth,[4] was a battle in the Corinthian War, between Sparta and the coalition of Argos, Athens, Corinth, and Thebes. The battle was fought in Corinthian territory, at the dry bed of the Nemea River. The battle was a decisive Spartan victory, which, coupled with the Battle of Coronea later in the same year, gave Sparta the advantage in the early fighting on the Greek mainland.
