History
The Nesiotic league (the League of the Islanders) was a federal organization of Greek poleis in the Cyclades islands, organized in ca. 314/3 BCE under the direction of Antigonus Monophthalmus. Control passed to the Ptolemies ca. 287 BCE; the league eventually dissolved in the mid-3rd century BCE.
