Total membership remained fairly stable at between 12 and 16 clubs until 1963, when it absorbed most of the clubs from two rival leagues: the Corinthian League (which became the Athenian League First Division) and the Delphian League (which became the Athenian League Second Division).

Athens (0 words)
Athens led the Delian League from the beginning, though at its founding the treasury was located on the island of Delos, and each state in the league had an equal vote.
Naxos, a member of the Delian League, attempted to secede, and was enslaved; Naxos is believed to have been forced to tear down her walls, lost her fleet, and her vote in the League.
The Second Athenian Empire, a maritime self-defense league, was founded in 377 BC and was led by Athens; but Athens would never recover the full extent of her power, and her enemies were now far stronger and more varied.
Warhorse Simulations: The Epic of the Peloponnesian War (423 words)
All cities in the Athenian Empire are required to pay tribute to the government in Athens, and some are finding this tiresome in these calmer times.
The Spartan leadership of this League is based on the invincible reputation of their elite hoplite fighting force, which has never been defeated in open battle.
The stage is thus set for a war that spanned nearly thirty years in its entirety from first engagement in 431 BC to the eventual downfall of the Athens in 404.
