DURING THE EARLY YEARS of the Peloponnesian War, one major ally of each of the chief belligerents attempted to defect to the other side. Both attempts proved abortive and had limited effect on the conduct of the war as a whole, but the rebellions of Mytilene in 428/7 B.c. and Megara in 424 B.c. nevertheless deserve our careful attention. For these events bear a striking resemblance to one another, which suggests greater political similarity between the rival camps than is generally thought to have existed, and they illuminate some aspects of polis organization which are little understood. For the sake of clarity, the two events will be treated separately, and comparisons will be reserved for the conclusion
