A beotarca (in ancient Greek: βοιωτάρχης, boiotàrches) was a magistrate belonging to the Beot League with executive, military and diplomatic functions. Stored by wikitesto
The figure of the beotarca is found in the 424 BC constitution, created after the Battle of Delio (424 BC) had liberated the cities of Beozia from Athenian hegemony: the council consisted of eleven beotars, one for each district, democratically elected among the members of the land aristocracy. The length of the charge was annual.
The most famous characters covering this charge were Epaminonda and Pelopida. Bibliografiamodifica wikitesto Primary sources Links externalize the wikitesto
