N2  - The Allied Greek fleet captured Byzantion in 478 B.C under the command of Spartan general Pausanias. Thucydides and the ancient historians following him state that the leadership of the Greek Alliance was transferred to Athens in Byzantion because of the facts that Pausanias not only behaved the Athenians and the other allies insolently but also collaborated with the Persians and imitated their customs. However, in this study, we shall put forward that the Athenians and the other allies used Pausanias’ s reactive behaviour against themselves as a pretext to take the leadership away from the Spartans. In fact, it is likely that the signs of ongoing struggle to hold the leadership of Hellas between Athens and Sparta reached a critical level in Byzantion, so the Athenians and the other allies used force to achieve this leadership. Therefore, the assumptions that Pausanias may have been compelled to collaborate with the Persians and thus he was able to rule in Byzantion for seven years ( 476-469 B.C ) owing to the support of Persians strengthen. Within this context, it could be said that, after the early 460 s, Sparta entered into an open conflict against Athens over the control of Byzantion
