		Pausanias was recalled by the ephors and, though acquitted on the main charge of Medism, was not again sent out in any official position.
		He is interested in visiting the battlefields of Marathon and Plataea, and in viewing the Athenian trophy on the island of Salimis, the grave of Demosthenes at Calauria, of Leonidas at Sparta, of Epaminondas at Mantinea, and the colossal lion guarding the tomb of the Thebans on the Boeotian plain.
		At Thebes itself he views the shields of those who died at Leuctra, and the ruins of the house of Pindar; the statues of Hesiod and Arion, of Thamyris and Orpheus, in the grove of the Muses on Helicon; the portrait of Corinna at Tanagra, and of Polybius in the cities of Arcadia.

		Sparta felt that an effort was necessary to recover her position, and Pausanias, the victor of Plataea, was sent out as admiral of the Greek fleet.
		By the withdrawal of Sparta and her Peloponnesian allies from the fleet the perils and the glories of the Persian War were left to Athens, who, though at the outset merely the leading state in a confederacy of free allies, soon began to make herself the mistress of an empire.
		For Sparta the long era of war and intestine struggle had ceased and one of peace and a revived prosperity took its place, as is witnessed by the numerous extant inscriptions belonging to this period.

		Sparta's recognition that its citizens were untrustworthy outside the jealous purview of the Similars precluded a proactive foreign policy; the eventual result was the consolidation of an Athenian empire and the disastrous Peloponnesian War (431-404 b.c.).
		Sparta won the Peloponnesian War, but only by the desperate expedient of accepting Persian subsidies for a fleet capable of defeating Athens at sea; the price was Sparta's acquiescence to Persian takeover of the Greek cities of western Anatolia.
		Sparta's later reputation may be attributed to the antidemocratic sentiments of ancient writers seeking a contrast to Athens's open society and modern nostalgia for an imaginary ideal polis.

		Pausanias, hearing this, and perceiving the tents of the Megarians already hid by the multitude of darts and arrows, and themselves driven together into a narrow space, was at a loss himself how to aid them with his battalion of heavy-armed Lacedaemonians.
		For Pausanias, perceiving what was done, made a halt, and commanded every one to put themselves in order for the battle; but either through his anger with Amompharetus, or the disturbance he was in by reason of the sudden approach of the enemy, he forgot to give the signal to the Greeks in general.
		Pausanias, offering sacrifice, could not procure favourable omens, and so commanded the Lacedaemonians, setting down their shields at their feet, to abide quietly and attend his directions, making no resistance to any of their enemies.

		A second time Sparta recalled him, and now he was secretly plotting with the always dissatisfied Spartan slaves, the ever rebellious Helots, promising them their freedom and the rights of Spartan citizens if they would rise up and overthrow the government of Sparta; but once again actual proof could not be found against him.
		Pausanias fled for refuge to the temple of Athene; but the people, in their anger, hearing of his treachery, blocked up the door with stones, and the aged mother of the traitor, with the spirit of a true Spartan, laid the very first stone.
		His plots with Pausanias were doubtless concerned with nothing more than the uprising of the Helots; for Themistocles would have liked to embarrass the jealous Sparta by a rebellion of her slaves; but the people assumed that he, too, had been intriguing with Persia.

		Bearzot's paper ("Spartani 'ideali' e Spartani 'anomali'") rightly heads the contributions, inasmuch as its broader spectrum (Sparta's foreign policy during the fifth and fourth century as the privileged test-bed for assessing Spartans' attitude towards innovation) provides a useful introduction to a large number of the issues further developed in the volume.
		Pausanias' actions are read as an exemplary case of the conflict between individual aspirations and the collective body of the polis and its inner stability (pp.

		Historical Synopsis: the historical situation at the start of the scenario sees a state of war between Sparta, the hegemonical power of mainland Greece and the ideal saviour of the asian Greek colonies, and Persia.
		As twenty years before, in the clash between Athens and Sparta, Persia was the solver of the situation: her intervention pushed the belligerents to a peace, which was deleterious for the future of all Greece: for the second time, an internal dissension was decided by an external power.
		Sparta was certainly favored by the peace and could exert all her influence and military power to subdue every indipendent opinion in her rival states.

		Moreover, Sparta was not so much 'unseated,' but lost the 'international command' essentially by default -- thanks to Pausanias' behaviour.
		Nor was it "immediately wrecked by the Theban victory at Leuctra" -- rather, by the Spartan and Athenian refusal to regard Thebes-Boeotia as an entity similar to Laconia and Attica, which brought on the battle of Leuctra.
		The thesis that after 362 a dual hegemony of "Thebes, with her allies from Boeotia, Euboea, Thessaly and some Peloponnesians," on the one side, and "the coalition led by Athens and Sparta," on the other, was thought feasible by Xenophon has little to recommend it.
