Today we continued researching for our project.
Notes:
The name "Delian League" derived from the official meeting place of the League: Delos
-other purposes of the League besides driving out Persia was to prepare for future invasions and organize a means of dividing the spoils of war
-The first member of the League that attempted to secede was Naxos
-after the rebellion was put down, they had to tear down their walls, give up their naval fleet, and lose their vote in the League
The League, and thus the "Athenian Empire" ended in 404 BC when Spartans captured Athens
