Cretan War (205–200 BC)
The Cretan War was fought by King Philip V of Macedon, the Aetolian League, many Cretans, and Spartan pirates against the forces of Rhodes and later Attalus I of Pergamum, Byzantium, Cyzicus, Athens, and Knossos. The Macedonians had just concluded the First Macedonian War and Philip, seeing his chance to defeat Rhodes, formed an alliance.
