Cleomenes

As Cleomenes marvelled greatly at the cups whenever he saw them, Maeandrius would tell him to take as many as he liked.

but realizing that there were others in Lacedaemon from whom Maeandrius would get help by offering them the cups, he went to the ephors and told them it would be best for Sparta if this Samian stranger quit the country, lest he persuade Cleomenes himself or some other Spartan to do evil.

After no long time the second wife gave birth to Cleomenes.

" And the "Give a pledge, and ruin is at hand" — Cleomenes, in his work On Hesiod, says was uttered before by Homer in these words:

For either a man was ignorant of himself, as Cleomenes and Athamas who went mad;

The Athenians therefore expelled these accursed ones, and Cleomenes the Lacedaemonian also expelled them subsequently, in conjunction with some Athenian partisans, both driving out the living, and taking up and casting out the bones of the dead.

The commander in this irruption was Cleomenes, as representative of Pausanias, the son of Pleistoanax, who was king, and still a minor, and Cleomenes was his father's brother.

Isagoras, falling short in power, again called in Cleomenes, who was his guest-friend, and persuaded him to drive out the curse, since the Alcmeonidae were thought to be among the accursed.

While he was engaged in this, he was driven out by Cleomenes the king of the Lacedaemonians, oracles being continually given to the Spartans to overthrow the tyranny, for the following reason.

but when he was defeated and killed, because Cineas the Thessalian came to the aid with a thousand horsemen, the Lacedaemonians, angered at what had happened, sent out their king Cleomenes with a larger force by land.

Some of them would despatch the stuff from Egypt, others would sail in charge of the shipments, while still others would remain here in Athens and dispose of the consignments.

All these men, I would have you know, men of the jury, were underlings and confederates of Cleomenes, the former ruler of Egypt, who from the time he received the government did no small harm to your state, or rather to the rest of the Greeks as well, by buying up grain for resale and fixing its price, and in this he had these men as his confederates.

formerly from Hippias, later from Cleomenes, and after this, when the Athenians themselves attempted to do the work of Hippias and Isagoras and to establish a tyranny over Greece, were the first to perceive it and most grieved by it, and became leaders of freedom to the rest, and preserved this purpose not only in the case of the Athenians, but also in the case of the Lacedaemonians?
