Ἀγησίλαος

Ἀγησίλαος Plutarch
28.4 And although many baleful signs appeared, as I have written in my Life of Epaminondas,Not extant. and though Prothouüs the Laconian made opposition to the expedition, Agesilaüs would not give in, but brought the war to pass. He thought that since all Hellas was on their side, and the Thebans had been excluded from the treaty, it was a favourable time for the Spartans to take vengeance on them.
28.5 But the time chosen for it proves that this expedition was made from anger more than from careful calculation. For the treaty of peace was made at Lacedaemon on the fourteenth of the month Scirophorion, and on the fifth of Hecatombaeon the Lacedaemonians were defeated at Leuctra,—an interval of twenty days. In that battle a thousand Lacedaemonians fell, besides Cleombrotus the king, and around him the mightiest of the Spartans.
28.6 Among these, they say, was Cleonymus, the beautiful son of Sphodrias,Cf. chapter xxv. 1. who was thrice struck down in front of his king, as many times rose again to his feet, and died there, fighting the Thebans.
29.1 Now that the Lacedaemonians had met with an unexpected reverse, and the Thebans with an unlooked-for success surpassing that of any other Hellenes at strife with Hellenes, the high conduct of the defeated city was no less to be envied and admired than that of the victorious city.
