Phocis

Region of ancient Greece, north of the gulf of Corinth and west of Boeotia. The Phocian War 355–346 BC ended in the conquest of Phocis by Philip II Macedon, who destroyed all its towns except for Abae.

Delphi was within the borders of Phocis but was controlled by the Amphictyonic League, in the council of which Phocis had two votes.

And at Syracuse, the victory in their war with the Athenians being owing to the common people, they changed their free state into a democracy: and at Chalcis, the people having taken off the tyrant Phocis, together with the nobles, immediately seized the government: and at Ambracia also the people, having expelled the tyrant Periander, with his party, placed the supreme power in themselves.
