In the year 447 B.C. a revolt in Boeotia resulted in the overthrow of Athenian supremacy there, while the expulsion of the Athenians from Pho'cis and Lo'cris, and the revolt of Euboea and Megara, followed soon after. The revolt of Euboea was soon quelled, but this was the only success that Athens achieved. Meanwhile a Spartan army invaded Attica and marched to the neighborhood of Eleusis.
Lo'cris, lying along the Corinthian Gulf east of AEtolia, was inhabited by a wild, uncivilized race, scarcely Hellen'ic in character, and said to have been addicted, from the earliest period, to theft and rapine. Their two principal towns were Amphis'sa and Naupac'tus, the latter now called Lepanto. There was another settlement of the Locri north of Pho'cis and Boeo'tia.
From this people the Doric order of architecture a style typical of majesty and imposing grandeur, and the one the most employed by the Greeks in the construction of their temples derived its origin. Pho'cis. On the east of Locris, AEtolia, and Doris was Phocis, a mountainous region, bordered on the south by the Corinthian Gulf.
