Ἀγησίλαος

Ἀγησίλαος Plutarch
23.1 When Conon and Pharnabazus with the Great King’s fleet were masters of the sea and were ravaging the coasts of Laconia, and after the walls of Athens had been rebuilt with the money which Pharnabazus furnished,In 393 B.C. (Xenophon, Hell. iv. 8,10). the Lacedaemonians decided to make peace with the king of Persia. To that end, they sent Antalcidas to Tiribazus,The Great King’s satrap in Western Asia. and in the most shameful and lawless fashion handed over to the King the Greeks resident in Asia, in whose behalf Agesilaüs had waged war. Agesilaüs, therefore, could have had no part at all in this infamy.
23.2 For Antalcidas was his enemy, and put forth all his efforts to make the peace because he saw that the war enhanced to the utmost the reputation and power of Agesilaüs. Notwithstanding this, to one who remarked that the Lacedaemonians were favouring the Medes, Agesilaüs replied that the Medes were the rather favouring the Lacedaemonians.
