Abstract
Plataia was a small
polis
in southern Boiotia. Despite never disowning its Boiotian heritage, it had a fraught relationship with its Boiotian neighbors on account of its refusal to join the
koinon
in the late sixth century. Instead, it allied with the Athenians. On its lands the battle of Plataia was fought (479
bce
), transforming it into an important
lieu de memoire
that was exploited and used by external powers such as the Spartans and the Macedonians in the fourth century
