The Delian League was named after the island of Delos, where its treasury was initially located. Formed in 478 BCE, the league was a coalition of Greek city-states led by Athens, aimed at defending against Persian aggression. The choice of Delos was significant due to its religious importance and status as a neutral site, sacred to the god Apollo. Over time, the league became increasingly dominated by Athens, leading to tensions with other member states.
