The ancient Greeks lived in cities (poleis) along the coasts of the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
The Greek word polis (plural poleis) meant a city-state, but more specifically the group of people who formed a single political entity.
The Greeks were not interested in expanding their 'poleis' and colonizing other areas. The main reason for their overseas 'colonies' (which is not the right word for these settlements) was a mix of demographic reasons, one of them being overpopulation.
In a long long history of poleis named Sparta,among others,Thebes did defeat Sparta.But the event was quite late in Spartan history when not much of the famous system was existing anymore,not hard armored hoplites,superior trained troops..In that time (early 4th BC) there were only few hundred of Spartan citizen soldiers existing in the city.

While the underlying cause was probably economical interests and territorial expansion (through colonization of the Aegean coast of Anatolia), the "trigger" so to speak was the abduction of Helena, wife of the Spartan king Menelaos, by Paris, a prince of Troy. menelaos asked his brother Agamemnons help to get her back. Agamemnon had all the Hellenic poleis bound to him by oath, so he invoked this oath to demand their help to invade Troy and retrieve Helena.
