Boeotarch

Boeotarch

Boeotarch was the title of the chief officers of the Boeotian Confederacy, founded in 379 BC after a rebellion freed the cities of Boeotia from Spartan dominance. There were seven Boeotarchs, democratically elected from seven electoral districts throughout Greece. As the largest city of the region, Thebes generally elected four of the Boeotarchs, while the other three represented outlying districts.

The most famous individuals to hold the office were Epaminondas and Pelopidas, who led Thebes to hegemonic status in Greece in the middle of the 3rd Century BC.
