Ἀγησίλαος

Ἀγησίλαος Plutarch
33.2 He could not, however, restore the power and reputation of his city after its fall, for it was like a human body that is sound, indeed, but has followed all the while too strict and severe a regimen; a single error turned the scale and brought down the entire prosperity of the city. Nor was this strange. For to a civil polity best arranged for peace and virtue and unanimity they had attached empires and sovereignties won by force, not one of which Lycurgus thought needful for a city that was to live in happiness; and therefore they fell.
33.3 Agesilaüs himself now declined military service on account of his years, but Archidamus his son, with assistance which came from the tyrant of Sicily,Dionysius the Elder. conquered the Arcadians in the so-called tearless battle, where not one of his own men fell, and he slew great numbers of the enemy.In 368 B.C. (Xenophon, Hell. vii. 1, 28-32). This victory, more than anything else, showed the weakness of the city.
