Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. The Second Athenian League has traditionally been viewed as an organization with idealistic beginnings that were quickly forgotten, as the 'second empire' came to exhibit most of the abuses of the first. According to this hypothesis, Athens had learned nothing from the collapse of its fifth century Empire, and the Greek defeat by the Macedonians at Chaironeia in 338 BC was both inevitable and essentially beneficial to the Greeks. Cargill challenges this attitude, meticulously re-examining literary and epigraphical evidence on the Second Athenian League in an attempt to reach a responsible interpretation of the fundamental nature of this large multi-lateral alliance. At the centre of his study are a new text and translation of the most important of the sources, the stele of the Decree of Aristoteles of 377B.C.<
