Summary

SPARTAN MAGISTRATES

Spartan ambassadors

Agesilaus son of Archidamus (PL 9)

Sent as ambassador to Mantineia in 371 because he seemed to be a patrikos phifos (Xen., Hell. 6.5.4): see especially ch. 3.

Aneristus son of Sperthias (PL 95)

See discussion in ch. 4.

Antalcidas son of Leon

See discussion in ch. 6.

Aristomenidas (PL 134 = Aristomelidas)

See discussion in ch. 4.

Athenaeus son of Pericleidas (PL 32)

Apart from his suggestive name (see HCT 3.604; compare Lacedaemonius, the son of Cimon, who was named for his father's philo-Laconian persuasion (Plut., Cim. 16.1); cf. Kagan (1969) 267–8), Athenaeus son of Pericleidas had other links with Athens as his father had been the ambassador sent to Athens in the third Messenian war to ask for help (Plut., Cim. 16.8; Ar., Lysis. 1138–41). Then in 423 Athenaeus appeared himself as an oath-taker (Th. 4.119.2), and was the Spartan representative sent to Brasidas in Thrace with the terms of the agreement (Th. 4.122.1).

Endius son of Alcibiades (PL 264)

See discussion in ch. 4.

Etymocles (PL 287)

Ambassador to Athens in 378/7 (Xen., Hell. 5.4.22) and in 370/69 (Xen., Hell. 6.5.33).

Euthycles (PL 301 =? 302)

He was ambassador to Persia in 367 (Xen., Hell. 7.1.33) and is perhaps the same man who went to Persia again in 333 (Arrian, Anab. 2.15.2).
