King Agesilaus II of Sparta led an expedition into Asia Minor 396-394 BCE, and had considerable success in defeating Persian provincial governors there. His efforts were cut short when he was recalled to prosecute wars in mainland Greece against the combined forces of Athens, Thebes, Corinth and Argos, and could not return to Asia to pursue his plans to overthrow Persian power - achieved by Alexander 60 years later.
