The Schoolteacher Who Broke Sparta's Army | Leuctra 371 BC

For three centuries, Sparta's army had not lost a pitched battle. Then
in 371 BC, a Theban general named Epaminondas — a teacher of philosophy
in his civilian life — used a single tactical innovation to shatter
the myth of Spartan invincibility forever.

The tactic was called the oblique order. It changed warfare for the
next two thousand years.
