The '''Siege of Mantinea''' occured in 385 BCE, and resulted in a victory of the [[Spartans]] over the city of [[Mantinea]], which was defeated and dismembered.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> On this occasion, [[Epaminondas]], king of the Thebans, then fighting on the side of the Spartans, famously rescued his fellow Theban [[Pelopidas]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

Mantinea had been opposed to the Spartans in the [[Peloponesian War]]. As a result, Mantinea first fell in 417, and it was then destroyed in the siege of 385 BCE.<ref name="WLB"/> However the [[Arcadians]] were able to recover and restored their city after the [[Battle of Leuctra]] and the defeat of Spartan hegemony.<ref name="WLB">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
