	Agesilaus II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Agesilaus II, or Agesilaos II (Greek Ἀγησιλάος), king of Sparta, of the Eurypontid family, was the son of Archidamus II and Eupolia, and younger step-brother of Agis II, whom he succeeded about 401 BC.
		Agesilaus was of small stature and unimpressive appearance, and was somewhat lame from birth.

		Agesilaus' success was largely due to Lysander, who hoped to find in him a willing tool for the furtherance of his political designs; in this hope, however, Lysander war disappointed, and the increasing power of Agesilaus soon led to his downfall.
		In 396 Agesilaus was sent to Asia with a force of 2000 Neoda-modes (enfranchized Helots) and 6000 allies to secure the Greek cities against a Persian attack.
		In 370 Agesilaus tried to restore Spartan prestige by an invasion of Mantinean territory, and his prudence and heroism saved Sparta when her enemies, led by Epaminondas, penetrated Laconia that same year, and again in 362 when they all but succeeded in seizing the city by a rapid and unexpected march.

	Agesilaus - The Lame King of Sparta
		Agesilaus was born with one leg shorter than the other, but he made up for this handicap by the rest of himself, and never allowed his handicap to be an excuse for preferential treatment.
		Agesilaus and his army were about to fight a major battle, and bad news on top of the bad omen of the eclipse might have discouraged his men, so he pretended that the news was good.
		Agesilaus answered: "If all of their fields are full of crops next year, they will be more afraid of war." And, as Agesilaus had predicted, as soon as the Spartans came back the next year the Acarnanians made peace with the Achaeans on liberal terms.

		Chapter II e crossed the Hellespont and made his way through the very tribes traversed by the Persian[1] with his multitudinous equipment in former days, and the march which cost the barbarian a year was accomplished by Agesilaus in less than a single month.
		Then Agesilaus, detecting the common error under which both parties laboured, sent round his own bodyguard of stalwart troopers with orders to their predecessors (an order they would act upon themselves) to charge the enemy at full gallop and not give him a chance to rally.
		Here, midway between Pras and Narthacius, Agesilaus erected a trophy, and here for the moment he halted in unfeigned satisfaction at his exploit, since it was from an antagonist boasting the finest cavalry in the world that he had wrested victory with a body of cavalry organised by himself.

	Agesilaus
		Agesilaus was still a youth[5] when he obtained the kingdom, and he was still but a novice in his office when the news came that the king of Persia was collecting a mighty armament by sea and land for the invasion of Hellas.
		Agesilaus, aware how matters were going, ordered his cavalry to the rescue, and the Persians on their side, seeing the enemy's supports approaching, collected and formed up in line to receive them with the serried squadrons of their cavalry.
		But Agesilaus was a lover of toil, and therefore not so dainty; the meanest beverage was sweet to his lips, and pleasant enough to his taste was the chance fare of the moment; and for the purpose of refreshing slumber every place alike conducive.

		Agesilaus was not in the direct line of succession after his elder brother King Agis II died, but the powerful military commander Lysander contrived to have Agis's son disqualified as a bastard fathered by Alcibiades and engineered Agesilaus's election as king about 399.
		Agesilaus was recalled from the field and marched his army homeward.
		Agesilaus thus became in effect sole king, and he dominated the politics of Sparta until his death.

		When Agesilaus was marching to the north again, he received new instructions from the Spartan government: he had to sail to and attack Caria -which was suffering from the change of satrap- and continue to the east, to Cilicia.
		Agesilaus decided on a march to the interior of Asia along the Royal road.
		Therefore, Agesilaus again became a mercenary leader, this time siding with the Egyptian king Teos, who was preparing an attack on the Persian territories in Syria.

		AGESILAUS II [Agesilaus II], c.444-360 BC, king of Sparta.
		After the Peloponnesian War the Greek cities in Asia Minor had not been ceded to Persia despite Sparta's promises, and in 396 BC Agesilaus went there to oppose the Persian satraps Tissaphernes and Pharnabazus by attacking them.
		When Agesilaus deliberately excluded Thebes from the peace talks, Thebes renewed the war and the Theban general Epaminondas won (371 BC) a resounding victory at Leuctra.

	Nectanebo II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nectanebo II (ruled 360 - 343 BC), also known by the name Nakhthoreb, was the third and last king of the Thirtieth dynasty of Egypt and also the last native Egyptian ruler of the country.
		Nectanebo was placed on the Egyptian throne by Spartan king Agesilaus II, who helped him overthrow Teos and fight off a rival pretender.
		Soon after Alexander the Great's confirmation of godhood was confirmed by the Oracle of Zeus Ammon, a rumor was begun that Nectanebo II did not travel to Nubia but instead to the court of Philip II of Macedon in the guise of an Eqyptian magician.

	Agesilaus II, King of Sparta: Part 1/3
		Agesilaus was the younger son of Archidamus, one of the two kings of Sparta.
		Agesilaus did have the support, however, of Lysander, the Spartan general who had defeated Athens (404), thus putting an end to a long drawn-out war and establishing Sparta as the undisputed leading city-state of Greece.
		When Agesilaus wanted to perform a sacrifice to the gods before leaving, the Boeotians disrupted the ceremony, throwing the sacrificial victim’s thighs off the altar, on the grounds that only they were permitted to sacrifice there.

	Xenophon : Agesilaus : II
		To assert that Agesilaus at this crisis displayed real valour is to assert a thing indisputable, but for all that the course he adopted was not the safest.
		When the enemy, being desirous of peace, sent an embassy, it was Agesilaus who spoke against the peace, until he had forced the states of Corinth and of Thebes to welcome back those of them who, for Lacedaemon's sake, had suffered banishment.
		And now the weight of, may be, fourscore years was laid upon him, when it came under his observation that the king of Egypt, with his hosts of foot and horse and stores of wealth, had set his heart on a war with Persia.

		While he was in Corinth Agesilaus received news of a major defeat of a Spartan division by Athenian forces under Iphicrates.
		Agesilaus collected the survivors and took them back with him to Sparta in a series of night marches (390).

		Agesilaus, who had not failed to note the king's impatience, at once fitted out a ship of war and gave orders to Callias, a Lacedaemonian, to escort the maiden to her new home; after which he himself began his march on Dascylium.
		Then Agesilaus took great interest in him, and as he had a strong attachment to the son of Eualces, an Athenian, Agesilaus did all he could to have this friend of his, who was the tallest of the boys, admitted to the two hundred yards race at Olympia.
		Agesilaus was as good as his word, and at once marched out of the territory of Pharnabazus.

		Agesilaus was very fond of his children; and it is reported that once toying with them he got astride upon a reed as upon a horse, and rode about the room; and being seen by one of his friends, he desired him not to speak of it till he had children of his own.
