This varied from time to time, and depended on shifting alliances alliances which changed the power balance. Sparta was a recognised leader, Athens became a rival, Sparta again and then Thebes with Macedonia finally becoming the most powerful.

It varied over time - Sparta dominated in the 5th Century BCE. Athens challenged this in the second half of the century after it had access to the resources it took from the empire it created, but was defeated in the 27-year Peloponnesian War and stripped of the empire, becoming a second rate power. Sparta dominated for the next 30 years until replaces by Thebes. The continuous wars left the way open for Macedonia to take control, and Alexander's successors split his empire into three rival states - Macedonia, Egypt and Syria. These were swallowed up into the Roman Empire.
