In 308 BC Antigonus had allied with Cassander in the Macedonian-Hellenistic War. The two kings agreed to a strategy whereby Antigonus would support the Macedonian land forces with a naval invasion of Southern Greece, theoretically crushing the Hellenic rebels between them. The Hellenic League, aware of the danger, had concluded a treaty with Carthage and assembled a large fleet of Carthaginian and Tarasian warships to counter the Antigonid force. The two fleets met each other in battle off the Attic coast shortly before the Battle of Athens.
