It was in the 124th Olympiad that Patrae and Dyme took the initiative, by entering into a league,
just about the date of the deaths of Ptolemy son of Lagus, Lysimachus, Seleucus, and Ptolemy Ceraunus, which all occurred in this Olympiad.
The condition of the Achaean nation before this date had been more or less as follows.
Their first king was Tisamenus the son of Orestes, who, when expelled from <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Sparta&groupId=660&placeId=1208">Sparta</a> on the return of the Heraclidae, occupied <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Achaea&groupId=272&placeId=533">Achaea</a>, and they continued to be ruled by kings of his house down to Ogygus.
Being dissatisfied with the rule of Ogygus' sons, which was despotical and not constitutional, they changed their government to a democracy.
After this, down to the reigns of Alexander and Philip, their fortunes varied according to circumstances, but they always endeavoured, as I said, to keep their League a democracy.
This consisted of twelve cities, which still all exist with the exception of Olenus and of Helice which was engulfed by the sea a little before the battle of Leuctra.
These cities are Patrae, Dyme, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Pharae&groupId=878&placeId=1582">Pharae</a>, Tritaea, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Leontium&groupId=677&placeId=1239">Leontium</a>, Aegium, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Aegira&groupId=289&placeId=569">Aegira</a>, Pellene, <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Bura&groupId=412&placeId=764">Bura</a>, and Caryneia.
After the time of Alexander and previous to the above Olympiad they fell, chiefly thanks to the kings of Macedon, into such a state of discord and ill-feeling that all the cities separated from the League and began to act against each others' interests.
The consequence was that some of them were garrisoned by Demetrius and Cassander and afterwards by Antigonus Gonatas, and some even had tyrants imposed on them by the latter, who planted more monarchs in Greece than any other king.
But, as I said above, about the 124th Olympiad they began to repent and form fresh leagues. (This was about the date of Pyrrhus\' crossing to <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Italy&groupId=656&placeId=1199">Italy</a>.)
The first cities to do so were Dyme, Patrae, Tritaea, and <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Pharae&groupId=878&placeId=1582">Pharae</a>, and for this reason we do not even find any formal inscribed record of their adherence to the League.
About five years afterwards the people of Aegium expelled their garrison and joined the League, and the Burians were the next to do so, after putting their tyrant to death.
Caryneia joined almost at the same time, for Iseas, its tyrant, when he saw the garrison expelled from Aegium, and the monarch of <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Bura&groupId=412&placeId=764">Bura</a> killed by Margus and the Achaeans, and war just about to be made on himself by all the towns round,
abdicated and, on receiving an assurance from the Achaeans that his life would be spared, added his city to the League.
