Comparison of Agesilaus and Pompey
The war against Thebes and its allies that Agesilaus is said to have kindled out of resentment.
In a word, whatever harm Pompey was accused of bringing upon the Romans out of deference to his friends or through ignorance, Agesilaüs brought as much upon the Lacedaemonians out of obstinacy and resentment when he kindled the Boeotian war.
Lysander
The war between Sparta and Thebes, variously blamed on Lysander, the Thebans, or both, arising from grievances over the Thirty and war spoils.
And he died before Agesilaus returned from Asia, after he had plunged, or rather had plunged Hellas, into the Boeotian war.
It is said, on the other hand, that Lysander was angry with the Thebans because they alone laid claim to a tenth part of the spoils of the war, while the rest of the allies held their peace;
but Thrasybulus and those who with him occupied Phyle, set out from Thebes to do so, and the Thebans not only provided them with arms and money, but also with secrecy and a base of operations.
