The Revolt of Megara; BC 447. Shortly after the Athenian defeat at Coronea the Megarians also revolted from Athens. A division of hoplites from Corinth; Sicyon and Epidaurus were secretly admitted into the town; and the Athenian soldiers garrisoning the long walls were defeated and slain; except a few who escaped into the fortified port of Nisaea.
