- A dispute arises between Epidamnus’ oligarchs and democratic forces in the Greek colony. Most of the colony’s inhabitants originated from Corinth or Corcyra (Corfu). Epidamnus’ oligarchs are exiled and then appeal to Corcyra for help, while the democrats enlist the support of Corinth. Corcyra is then attacked by Corinth as the dispute heats up.
