Athenian Second Maritime League - Athenian Second Maritime League

Japanese: アテナイ第二海上同盟 - アテナイだいにかいじょうどうめい

A league that Athens called on other cities to establish in 377 BC in opposition to Sparta, which had effectively taken over Greek power since the Treaty of Antalcidas. At its peak, 75 states (polises) participated. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Delian League of the 5th century BC, the league made it clear that it recognized the freedom and autonomy of its member states, prohibited the stationing of troops and the collection of tribute, and prohibited Athenian citizens from owning land in member states. During the Inter-City War (357-355 BC), powerful poleis such as Chios, Rhodes, and Byzantium defected one after another, causing the league to shrink significantly and losing its raison d'être.

アンタルキダス条約の締結以降，事実上ギリシアの覇権を握ったスパルタに対抗して，アテナイが前377年諸都市に呼びかけて設立した同盟。最盛期には75の国(ポリス)が参加。同盟は前5世紀デロス同盟の轍を踏まないように，加盟国の自由･自治の承認，駐留軍･貢租徴収の禁止，アテナイ市民の加盟諸国内での土地所有の禁止を明文化した。同盟市戦争(前357‐前355)で，キオス，ロドス，ビュザンティオンなど，有力ポリスの離反があいつぎ，同盟は大幅に縮小し，その存在意義を失った。
