A message from the Theban Polis and its allies, to the Chalcidean Tyrant:
Firstly, the Tanagran league has agreed to no general partition, other than the recognizing of Athens' rights to the people of Attica, Chalcis' rights to the island of Euboea, and Theban rights to surrounding Boetia.
And even if we had agreed to any grandoise division of Greece, proposed and fueled by Chalcidean over-ambition, we might add, this would not have included exclusive Chalcidean rights to the straits of Euboea. These waters are free for the use of all the polises.
Thus the Thebans will put as many ships as they desire in these waters. And if the Chalcideans treacherously attack, they might note that the terms of the Tanagran League make it a defensive organisation. So the Athenians would be obliged to declare war on Chalcis rather than aid you in bullying the Greeks of Boetia, as you so rashly assume they would like to do.
The Chalcidean Tyrant should think twice before wilfully provoking Thebes like this; our great polis was founded by a son of Zeus himself, and we shall always feel confident, for we know we have the king of the gods himself on our side.

"I the Tyrant Xanthus, have gone to the Oracle at Delphia and Prayed to Ares and Poseidon for guidence in these matters, as the Priestess Democrates came out, she forsaw a Great Alliance of three city states, one she said showed a great snake shape which must of mean Athens, another was an back bird which meant Corinth.. as i held my breth the third was an upside down V with gold, which meant Chalican..."
"if Thebes wants to fight us let it be so, i have gret conact and understanding with the mighty leaders of Corinth and Athens, and the mighty god Ares who blesses our troops and Poseidon who blesses our war ships"
"know this is a Thebean ship is not recalled back to Thebes, it will be sunk and war will being... Thebes verus, the Corinthian League"

The Theban people have praised the Athenian Tyrant's voice of reason. He has suggested just what we wanted: free passage of all the Greek straits and seas, for all the Greeks.
Our Theban expedition has been removed from the Chalcidean island - although we had already stated our intention in doing this previously.
We are enraged at the Chalcidean threats to our great Polis, however. Does this talk of the 'Corinthian League' mean that the evil Tyrant of Chalcis, not content with oppressing his own people, is attempting to array the city-states of Greece against freedom loving Thebes? We hope and pray that Athens and Corinth know nothing of this treachery (and thank the Corinthian and Athenian leaders for their statements, which seem to support this.)
Know this, despot of Chalcis: the Theban people have the right to passage through the Euboean straits. Should you attack us, we will fight for this right. You may think that you have the blessing of Ares and Poseidon, but the Theban peoples established their city with Zeus' blessing, and have his support and help to count on, should any bloodthirsty neighbours threaten Theban independence.

But if Boeotian ships are not allowed through the straits, how their navy function at all? First I just realized something: the Chalican Straits should not be needed by the Boeotians because there port is north of that and they only need the northern strait to go out. I think I have a compromise: depending on where the Boeotian coastal-city is (probably north of Chalcis) then I have a map. the northern straits can be used by Thebes and Chalcis, the southern straits by Athens and Chalcis, by the central strait is off limits except by express permission, here's a map.

Chalicans do not care for this opinion, we respect the Atheninan Opinion but the Straits you have names to be shared by Thebes and Chalicians is unacceptable, there are my straights by birth right... is Thebes wants out, they will go thourgh the Straits marked, shared by Athens and Chalicans and Nationalized.

How can these straights be the birth-right of a Tyrant who has illegally seized the power in Chalcis from it's established and rightful heirs? Rather, these straights are the birth-right of all free Greeks, and the Chalcidean Tyrant's attempts to reserve them for himself are an affront to all the Hellenes.
The Thebans cannot use the part of the straits shared between Athens and Chalcis because they are too far away from our infant ports and harbours. Besides which, we have no interests in the areas that this strait opens onto.
The Thebans commend the well thought out Athenian compromise. However, the shared zone for Thebes and Chalcis would have to extend further south through the straits, as our new port city is slightly to the east of the area outlined. Nonetheless, the people of Boetia appreciate the addition of another voice of reason to this dispute, as opposed to the tyrannical rantings that continue to issue from Chalcis.
We Thebans repeat that they will continue to pass ships through the northern straits as we please. We will treat any destruction of Theban vessels as a declaration of war. The brave and heroic citizens of Boetia are ready for any Chalcidean treachery.
