2.51 On one other occasion he was asked what was the especial reason why the Spartans were fortunate above all other peoples, and he replied, Because they, above all others, make it their practice to rule and to be ruled. Cf. Moralia, 215 C, infra; Plutarch’s Life of Lycurgus, chap. xxx. (58 C), and Life of Agesilaus, chap. i. (596 D); Xenophon, Agesilaus, 2. 16.

2.52 After Lysander’s death he found a huge association banded together, which Lysander, immediately after his return from Asia, had organized against him, and he set out to show up Lysander by pointing out what kind of a citizen he had been when he was alive. So, after reading a speech which had been left among Lysander’s papers, the author of which was Cleon of Halicarnassus, and which Lysander had been intending to appropriate and deliver before the people on the subject of revolution and changing the form of government, Agesilaus wished to make it public. But when one of the aged men read the speech, and was frightened at its cleverness, and advised him not to disinter the dead Lysander, but rather to inter the speech along with him, he took the advice and did nothing. Cf. Moralia, 229 F, infra; Plutarch’s Life of Lysander, chap. xxiv. (447 D), and chap. xxx. (450 E); Life of Agesilaus, chap. xx. (606 E).
