	William Smith : A Smaller History of [Ancient] Greece - Peloponnesus, Sparta, Messenian Wars
		The kingdom of Elis was given to Oxylus as a recompense for his services as their guide; and it was agreed that Temenus, Cresphontes, and Eurysthenes and Procles, the infant sons of Aristodemus (who had died at Naupactus), should draw lots for Argos, Sparta, and Messenia.

		The existence of a pair of kings was peculiar to Sparta, and is said to have arisen from the accidental circumstance of Aristodemus having left twin sons, Eurysthenes and Procles.

	Athens: Its Rise and Fall
		The fated house of Pelops swept away by this irruption, Sparta fell to the lot of Procles and Eurysthenes [126], sons of Aristodemus, fifth in descent from Hercules; between these princes the royal power was divided, so that the constitution always acknowledged two kings--one from each of the Heracleid families.
		The elder house was called the Agids, or descendants of Agis, son of Eurysthenes; the latter, the Eurypontids, from Eurypon, descendant of Procles.
		Although Sparta, under the new dynasty, appears to have soon arrogated the pre-eminence over the other states of the Peloponnesus, it was long before she achieved the conquest even of the cities in her immediate neighbourhood.

		At length, when the time for parting came, Procles, as he was sending them on their way, said, "Know you now, my children, who it was that caused your mother's death?" The elder son took no account of this speech, but the younger, whose name was Lycophron, was sorely troubled at it.

		The nobles took advantage of all the jealousies which arose between the two families, obliged each to court them, and from time to time to make them concessions, until the royal authority was lost; and as the archons could not agree, each party now began to court the people, and universal anarchy prevailed.

		But it supplies no context itself, drawing instead on a compilation of Gospel accounts with extra-biblical material included to heighten the effect, including an androgenous evil character, representing Satan, that floats through the film.
		The assumption of familiarity with the story means that few characters are introduced by name and, with the exception of a discussion between Pontias Pilate (Hristo Naumov Shopov) and his wife Claudia Procles (Claudia Gerini), almost no scenes establish motivation and explain why things happen.
		For example, nothing is said as to why Jesus was arrested by Jewish Temple guards until the trial in the courtyard before high priest Caiphas (Mattia Sbragia), and even then the accusations don't really reflect the underlying reasons that the religious authorities would have wanted to be rid of the prophet from Galilee.

		Similarly, I wonder if Dillery's distinction later (184-86) between the limited awareness attributed to the gods during the archaic period and Xenophon's view of the gods as omniscient and omnipresent should not be attributed to genre rather than belief, for all of the examples he cites for this archaic view come from Homer or Hesiod.
		Finally, I remain unconvinced by Dillery's suggestion that with the speeches of Callistratus (6.3.10-17) and Procles (6.5.38-48) Xenophon offers a positive model of a joint Athenian-Spartan hegemony (241-49).
		First, Xenophon must have had a wider purpose in mind than a narrow political prescription when he conceived of his Hellenica, for it is a work which, as Dillery suggests (11), was intended to occupy a unique place in the Greek historical tradition.
