摘要：This paper wants to carry out an analytical description of the use of Greek mercenaries in the East, from King’s Peace of 386 BC. In a new international world-system based on multilateral relations, Athens employed a shadow force of mercenaries in order to support the enemies of its allied powers, no matter if they were Sparta or Persia. Taking this example into mind, the radical improvements in war strategy along the IV century, as well as the high complexity of the international relations in the East, made such soldiers become an essential tool for any Ancient state with hegemonic aspirations.
