Finds from Solygeia According to Thucydides, Dorians had seized the hill on which Solygeia sat, in order to carry on war against the Aeolian inhabitants of Corinthians. During the Peloponnesian War, in the year 425 BCE, Solygeia was the scene of a confrontation between Athens and Corinth. The Athenians had undertaken an expedition against Corinth led by, among others, Nicias, with 80 triremes, 2000 hoplites, and 200 horsemen. They were accompanied by allies from Miletus, Andros and Carystus and landed in the territory dominated by Solygeia.

When some of the eastern allies and mercenaries started deserting, Brutus was forced to attack on the afternoon of October23. As he said, "I seem to carry on war like Pompey the Great, not so much commanding as commanded." However, the reality is that Brutus had no option but to fight, because his entire position was now in danger of being isolated and rendered untenable. If the triumvirs were allowed to continue stretching their lines unimpeded to the east they would ultimately cut off his supply route to Neapolis and pin him against the mountains.

B. F. French stated 'The war was rashly brought and rashly conducted. Bienville entered the enemy's country without any means of siege, made one attack on a fort, and then, without attempting by scouts to open a communication with D'Artaguette, whom he had ordered to meet him in the Chickasaw country on the 10th of May [sic], or making any attempt to give him proper orders, without even taking one Chickasaw prisoner to get any information of D'Artaguette's proceedings, he retreated, and ended the campaign disastrously.' Atkinson described as 'stupid' the frontal assaults against positions that were practically invincible. A Frenchman's relation of the observations of a Choctaw chief named Red Shoes is quoted by Atkinson: 'The French did not know at all the way to carry on war; we had been able to take only a little village of thirty of forty men; that on the contrary we had lost many men without being able to say that we had killed a single one; that our troops heavily clad marched with too slow a step and so close together that it was impossible for the Chickasaws to fire without killing some of them and wounding several.
