d
after him; and it chanced that before they came Demaratos had passed
over to Zakynthos from Elis; and the Lacedemonians crossing over after
him laid hands on his person and carried away his attendants from him.
Afterwards however, since those of Zakynthos refused to give him up, he
passed over from thence to Asia, to the presence of king Dareios; and
Dareios both received him with great honour as a guest, and also gave
him land and cities. Thus Demaratos had come to Asia, and such was the
fortune which he had had, having been distinguished in the estimation of
the Lacedemonians 59 in many other ways both by deeds and by counsels,
and especially having gained for them an Olympic victory with the
four-horse chariot, being the only one who achieved this of all the
kings who ever arose in Sparta.

71. Demaratos being deposed, Leotychides the son of Menares succeeded to
the kingdom; and he had born to him a son Zeuxidemos, whom some of the
Spartans called Kyniscos. This Zeuxidemos did not become king of
Sparta, for he died before Leotychides, leaving a son Archidemos: and
Leotychides having lost Zeuxidemos married a second wife Eurydame, the
sister of Menios and daughter of Diactorides, by whom he had no male
issue, but a daughter Lampito, whom Archidemos the son of Zeuxidemos
took in marriage, she being given to him by Leotychides..

72. Leotychides however did not himself 60 live to old age in Sparta,
but paid a retribution for Demaratos as follows:--he went as commander
of the Lacedemonians to invade Thessaly, and when he might have reduced
all to subjection, he accepted gifts of money amounting to a large sum;
and being taken in the act there in the camp, as he was sitting upon a
glove full of money, he was brought to trial and banished from Sparta,
and his house was razed to the ground. So he went into exile to Tegea
and ended his life there..

73. These things happened later; but at this time, when Cleomenes had
brought to a successful issue the affair which concerned Demaratos,
forthwith he took with him Leotychides and went against the Eginetans,
being very greatly enraged with them because of their insults towards
him. So the Eginetans on their part, since both the kings had come
against them, thought fit no longer to resist; and the Spartans selected
ten men who were the most considerable among the Eginetans both by
wealth and by birth, and took them away as prisoners, and among
others also Crios 61 the son of
