Kings Of Sparta
For most of its history, the ancient Greek city-state of Sparta in the Peloponnese was ruled by kings. Sparta was unusual among the Greek city-states in that it maintained its kingship past the Archaic age. It was even more unusual in that it had two kings simultaneously, who were called the ''archagetai'', coming from two separate lines. According to tradition, the two lines, the Agiads (, ) and Eurypontids (, ), were respectively descended from the twins Eurysthenes and Procles, the descendants of Heracles, who supposedly conquered Sparta two generations after the Trojan War. The dynasties themselves, however, were named after the twins' grandsons, the kings Agis I and Eurypon, respectively. The Agiad line was regarded as being senior to the Eurypontid line.Cartledge, Paul, ''The Spartans'', Vintage Books, 2003. Although there are lists of the earlier purported Kings of Sparta, there is little evidence for the existence of any kings before the middle of the sixth century BC or ...

Archidamus I
Archidamus I, also spelled Archidamos I ( grc, Ἀρχίδαμος Α΄), was a king of Sparta, 12th of the Eurypontids. He reigned from c. 660 to c. 645.Cartledge, ''Agesilaos'', p. 23. His relationship to other Spartan kings is unclear. According to Herodotus, Archidamus was the son of Anaxandridas I and fathered Anaxilas (King of Sparta), Anaxilas. According to Pausanias (geographer), Pausanias, Archidamus was the son of Anaxidamus and fathered Agasicles. Archidamus was contemporary with the Tegeatan War, which followed soon after the end of the Second Messenian War, in 668 BC. This cites Pausanias (geographer), Paus. iii. 7. § 69 comp. 3. § 5. Archidamus is the first Spartan king to bear the word ''damos'' in his name. Previously, royal names of both dynasties often included the word ''laus''. These words already existed during the Mycenaean Greece, Mycenaean era, in which ''Laos'' meant people and ''damos'' designated a small community, but in the 7th century the latter wor ...

Archidamus II
Archidamus II ( grc-gre, Ἀρχίδαμος ; died 427/6 BC) was a king of Sparta who reigned from approximately 469/8 BC to 427/6 BC. His father was Zeuxidamus (called Cyniscos by many Spartans). Zeuxidamus married and had a son, Archidamus. However, Zeuxidamus died before his father, Leotychidas. After the death of his son and heir, Leotychidas married Eurydame, the sister of Menius and daughter of Diactorides. While they had no male offspring, they did have a daughter, Lampito, whom Leotychidas gave in marriage to his grandson Archidamus. They had a son Agis II. Archidamus' later second marriage was to Eupoleia. The Ephors objected to this union, arguing that due to Eupolia's short stature, “She will bear us kinglets instead of kings”. He married her nonetheless and was for that fined by the Ephors. To them were born a son, Agesilaus II, and a daughter, Cynisca.

Archidamus III
Archidamus III ( grc-gre, Ἀρχίδαμος ) was the son of Agesilaus II and king of Sparta from 360 to 338 BC. Biography While still a prince, he was the eispnelas (εἰσπνήλας, inspirer, or pederastic lover) of Cleonymus, son of Sphodrias. He interceded with his own father to spare his aites's (ἀΐτας, lover) father's life in a legal matter, an action which further intensified friction between Athens and Sparta. He later led the Spartan forces both before and during his rule. Archidamus headed the force sent to aid the Spartan army after its defeat by the Thebans at the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC and was commander later during the fighting in the Peloponnese. Four years later he captured Caryae, ravaged the territory of the Parrhasii and defeated the Arcadians, Argives and Messenians in the "tearless battle", so called because the victory did not cost the Spartans a single life. However, he was in turn defeated by the Arcadians in 364 BC at Cromnus. I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Archidamus IV
Archidamus IV ( el, Ἀρχίδαμος Δ΄) was Eurypontid king of Sparta from c. 300 BC to c. 275 BC. An obscure king, Archidamus is only known for his defeat against the Macedonian king Demetrius Poliorketes at Mantinea in 294, where he might have also died since nothing is heard of him afterwards. This defeat marks the beginning of a long eclipse for the Eurypontid kings, who are not mentioned again until the emergence of Agis IV 50 years later. Life and reign Archidamus was the son of Eudamidas I () and grandson of Archidamus III (), who belonged to the Eurypontid dynasty, one of the two royal families of Sparta (the other being the Agiads). He was also the probable brother of Archidamia. In 294, Sparta went to war for the first time since 331 and the Battle of Megalopolis, where Archidamus' uncle Agis III died. Indeed, after having taken Athens, the king of Macedonia Demetrios Poliorketes invaded the Peloponnese in order to fortify his hold of Greece before fighting ...

Archidamus V
Archidamus V ( grc, Ἀρχίδαμος Ε΄) was the 27th of the Kings of Sparta of the Eurypontid line, reigning during 228 and 227 BC. He was the son of Eudamidas II and Agesistrata and through him the grandson of Archidamus IV, after whom he was named. After his brother Agis IV was murdered in 241 BC, he fled to Messenia. In 228 (or 227) he was ordered back to Sparta by King Cleomenes III of the Agiad line, who had no counterpart on the throne by then, after the death of Eudamidas III Eudamidas III ( grc-gre, Εὐδαμίδας; reigned from 241 to 228 BC), son of Agis IV and Agiatis, daughter of Gylippus, was king of Sparta and a member of the Eurypontid dynasty. When his father was murdered he had just been born. Due to his ..., the son of Agis IV. He was assassinated shortly afterwards. Polybius claims that he was killed by Cleomenes.

Isocrates
Isocrates (; grc, Ἰσοκράτης ; 436–338 BC) was an ancient Greek rhetorician, one of the ten Attic orators. Among the most influential Greek rhetoricians of his time, Isocrates made many contributions to rhetoric and education through his teaching and written works. Greek rhetoric is commonly traced to Corax of Syracuse, who first formulated a set of rhetorical rules in the fifth century BC. His pupil Tisias was influential in the development of the rhetoric of the courtroom, and by some accounts was the teacher of Isocrates. Within two generations, rhetoric had become an important art, its growth driven by social and political changes such as democracy and courts of law. Isocrates starved himself to death, two years before his 100th birthday. Early life and influences Isocrates was born into a prosperous family in Athens at the height of Athens' power shortly before the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC).

Archidamus (physician)
Archidamus ( grc, Ἀρχίδαμος) was a physician of ancient Greece of whom no particulars are known, but who must have lived in the fourth or fifth century BCE, as Galen quotes one of his opinions, which was preserved by the medical writer Diocles of Carystus. A physician of the same name is mentioned by Pliny, though it is unclear if these two individuals are indeed the same. Pliny the Elder, '' Natural History'' Ind. Auct. A few fragments titled "On Veterinary Surgery" by a person named "Archedemus" are to be found in the ''Veterinariae Medicinae Libri Duo'' of Jean Ruel. These were first published in Latin in Paris in 1530, and afterwards in Greek by Simon Grynaeus in 1537. It is also unclear whether this is originally by the same physician.

Galen
Aelius Galenus or Claudius Galenus ( el, Κλαύδιος Γαληνός; September 129 – c. AD 216), often Anglicized as Galen () or Galen of Pergamon, was a Greek physician, surgeon and philosopher in the Roman Empire. Considered to be one of the most accomplished of all medical researchers of antiquity, Galen influenced the development of various scientific disciplines, including anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and neurology, as well as philosophy and logic. The son of Aelius Nicon, a wealthy Greek architect with scholarly interests, Galen received a comprehensive education that prepared him for a successful career as a physician and philosopher. Born in the ancient city of Pergamon (present-day Bergama, Turkey), Galen traveled extensively, exposing himself to a wide variety of medical theories and discoveries before settling in Rome, where he served prominent members of Roman society and eventually was given the position of personal physician to several emp ...
