Corcyra was a colony of Corinth. Corinth expected its daughter city to give due deference to it as was the custom. A large faction in Corcyra did not see it that way, and the dispute was encouraged by Athenian support of Corcyra, in which a Corinthian enforement expedition was defeate.

The factions in Corcyra then fell into fighting each other in a bloody and merciless civil war.
