	The Internet Classics Archive \| Agis by Plutarch
		Leonidas, touched with compassion, withdrew a while to advise with his friends; then returning, bade Cleombrotus leave the sanctuary and go into banishment; Chilonis, he said, ought to stay with him it not being just she should forsake a father whose affection had granted to her intercession the life of her husband.
		So that, in a word, if Cleombrotus were not utterly blinded by ambition, he must surely choose to be banished with so excellent a woman rather than without her to possess a kingdom.
		Cleombrotus thus removed, Leonidas proceeded also to displace the ephors, and to choose others in their room; then he began to consider how he might entrap Agis.

	Agesilaus II
		In 389 he conducted a campaign in Acarnania, but two years later the Peace of Antalcidas, which was warmly supported by Agesilaus, put an end to hostilities.
		When war broke out afresh with Thebes the king twice invaded Boeotia (378, 377), and it was on his advice that Cleombrotus was ordered to march against Thebes in 371.
		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.

	Cleombrotus I
		Cleombrotus I the son of Pausanias was a Spartan king from 380 BC until 371 BC.
		In the year 376, on account of the illness of Agesilaus, the command was restored to Cleombrotus, who again effected nothing, but returned to Sparta in consequence of a slight repulse in the passes of Cithaeron.
		He seems to have been desirous of avoiding a battle, though he was superior to the enemy in numbers, but his friends reminded him of the suspicions he had before incurred by his former slowness to act against the Thebans, and warned him of the danger of repeating such conduct in the present crisis.

		[Cleombrotus, it is understood, had, on hearing the news of the establishment of peace, sent to the ephorate to ask for guidance; and then they sent him the above instructions, bidding him under the circumstances named to march upon Thebes.
		Cleombrotus had hardly begun to lead his division against the foe when, before in fact the troops with him were aware of his advance, the cavalry had already come into collision, and that of the Lacedaemonians was speedily worsted.
		Still strong evidence exists for supposing that Cleombrotus and his division were, in the first instance, victorious in the battle, if we consider the fact that they could never have picked him up and brought him back alive unless his vanguard had been masters of the situation for the moment.

	Plutarch: Life of Agis - translation
		It was against the latter that Leonidas was most incensed; and therefore passing Agis by, he went with a party of soldiers to seize Cleombrotus, whom he reproached, in terms of resentment, with conspiring against him, though honoured with his alliance, depriving him of the crown, and banishing him from his county.
		So that, had not Cleombrotus been corrupted with the love of false glory, he must have thought exile with such a woman a greater happiness than a kingdom without her.
		After Cleombrotus was thus expelled, the ephors were removed, and others put in their place.

		At the time when the peace was concluded Cleombrotus happened to be in Phocis at the head of a Lacedaemonian army; and he now received orders to invade Boeotia without delay.
		Cleombrotus himself was mortally wounded in the onset, and with difficulty carried off by his comrades.

		In general, Spina is interested in the dynamics of a form whose brevity both imposes limitations and simultaneously creates possibilities for the poet, but each of the chapters is essentially an independent piece with little connection to the others.
		The chapter concludes with a discussion of the subsequent reception of the Cleombrotus story and is followed by an appendix discussing subsequent studies of the poem.
		The second essay treats the autobiographical voice in funerary epigrams, exploring briefly the complex relationship between the reader and the often shifting identity of the first-person narrator.

	Hellenica - Chapter IV
		Cleombrotus, with these words ringing in his ears, felt driven[3] to join battle.
		Besides this they were somewhat encouraged by the recital of an oracle which predicted that the Lacedaemonians would be defeated on the spot where the monument of the maidens stood, who, as the story goes, being violated by certain Lacedaemonians, had slain themselves.[5] This sepulchral monument the Thebans decked with ornaments before the battle.
		Still, in spite of the numbers slain, and broken as they were, as soon as they had crossed the trench which protected their camp in front, they grounded arms on the spot[14] whence they had rushed to battle.

	Agis - The Reformer of Sparta
		Chilonis, who was Leonidas' daughter and also Cleombrotus' wife, chose to comfort her father in his exile rather than be queen of Sparta.
		King Cleombrotus and King Agis were both in favor of the reforms.
		If Cleombrotus had not been blinded by ambition, he should have known that he was better off as an exile with such an excellent woman than as a king without her.

	Hellenica/Book 5/Chapter 4 - Wikisource
		Now the friends of Cleombrotus, as comrades of Sphodrias, were disposed to acquit him; but they feared Agesilaus and his friends, not to mention the intermediate party, for the enormity of his proceeding was clear.
		But here they found a detachment of Thebans and Athenians already in occupation of the desired height, who for a while suffered them to approach; but when they were close upon them, sprang from their position and charged, putting about forty to the sword.
		This incident was sufficient to convince Cleombrotus that to invade Thebes by this mountain passage was out of the question, and in this faith he led back and disbanded his troops.

	Ancient History Sourcebook: Xenophon: The Battle of Leuctra, 371 BCE
		The credit for the victory falls to Epaminondas, though he is not named by the historian Xenophon, who---as a warm admirer of the Spartans---was not anxious to glorify their most formidable enemy.
		IV: When the Spartan king [Cleombrotus] observed that the Thebans, so far from giving autonomy to the Boeotian city states [as demanded], were not even disbanding their army and had clearly the purpose of fighting a general engagement, he felt justified in marching his troops into Boeotia [from Phocis where he had been].
		When, however, Deinon the polemarch, and Sphodrias, a member of the king's council, with his son Cleonymus, had fallen, then it was that the cavalry and the polemarch's adjutants, as they are called, with the rest, under pressure of the mass against them, began retreating.

		Leonidas was so angry that he would probably have treated Cleombrotus with the utmost severity, had not [274] Chilonis fallen at his feet and begged him to spare her husband's life.
		She gave Cleombrotus one of their two children, clasped the other to her breast, and left the city, proudly walking at her husband's side.

		Thereupon Lysander persuaded Cleombrotus, the son-in-law of Leonidas and a prince of the blood, to lay claim to the throne.
		Leonidas advanced with a party of soldiers to seize Cleombrotus; he felt more angry with him for depriving him of his throne than he did with Agis, because Cleombrotus had married his daughter and ought to have shown more feeling for her father.
		The wife was too devoted to allow her husband to go [267] into exile alone, so she put one of their children in his arms, took the other herself, and, after praying at the altar, departed with him.

	Sparta Pages:
		Unsurprisingly, the cult of the twin heroes Castor and Polydeuces (Pollux), brothers of Queen Helen of Trojan War fame, was especially strong in Sparta.
		It is possible there is an element of truth to some aspects of these legends, since a propensity to twins is genetic and there is evidence it ran in the historical Spartan line (Leonidas I and Cleombrotus, for example, were twins).
		Twin births in dynasties have occurred in other places and times and always cause confusion and discord when the rights of the firstborn are paramount.

		Agesilaus decided that Cleombrotus, now the other Spartan king, was not pursuing the war against Thebes vigorously enough and took to the field himself (378).

		So they raised an outcry against her; and therefore, when her full time was come, the Ephors, who were themselves incredulous, sat round her bed, and kept a strict watch on the labour.
