Book 6
71.1
Leutychides son of Menares succeeded to the kingship after Demaratus was deposed. A son was born to him, Zeuxidemus, called by some of the Spartans Cyniscus. This Zeuxidemus never became king of Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta, for he died before Leutychides, leaving his son Archidemus.
71.2
After the loss of Zeuxidemus, Leutychides married a second wife, Eurydame, sister of Menius and daughter of Diactorides; by her he had no male offspring, but a daughter, Lampito, to whom Archidemus son of Zeuxidemus was married by Leutychides.
72.1
But Leutychides also did not come to old age in Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta; he was punished for his dealings with Demaratus as I will show. He led a Lacedaemonian army to +Thessaly [22.25,39.5] (region), Greece, Europe Thessaly,The date is uncertain; about 475 or 470, probably. and when he could have subdued all the country he took a great bribe.
72.2
After being caught in the act of hoarding a sleeve full of silver there in the camp, he was brought before a court and banished from Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta, and his house was destroyed. He went into exile at Tegea [22.4,37.5] (Perseus) Tegea and died in that country.
73.1
This happened long afterwards. When Cleomenes' dealings with Demaratus came off successfully, he immediately took Leutychides with him and went to punish the Aeginetans, with whom he was terribly angry because of their insulting behavior.
