Abstract: De Laix attempts to defend the historical accuracy of Polybius 2.45 concerning the triple alliance between Aetolia, Sparta, and Macedon. He offers a new chronology for the events of 230/229 and 229/228. Within this new framework he interprets the diplomatic reasons for an alliance among such seemingly unlikely allies.
