Origins of The League
It is uncertain when the League was founded. It has been suggested that it may have been founded by Epaminondas. Grainger believes it was founded much later - around the time of the rise of Philip II of Macedon. After Philip's victory of Chaeronea Aetolia was granted Naupaktos which the Aetolians garrisoned - a level of organization that suggests some formal government rather than the loose alliance of earlier times.
