[raw]?
[Died] c. 470 BC Regent of Sparta, ancient Greece. Son of Spartan King Cleombrotus I. Became regent for the son of Leonidas, who was killed in battle at Thermopylae in 480 BC during the Persian Wars. In 479 BC, he led a combined Greek army, mainly from Sparta and Athens, and won a major victory over the Achaemenid Persian army at Plataea. The following year, he led a combined fleet to occupy Byzantium, but his arrogant attitude and adoption of a Persian lifestyle led to doubts about his loyalty and to the trust of allied cities in Sparta. Suspected of having ties to the Persian king, he was summoned to Sparta twice, but was released. However, he was suspected of participating in a revolt by the Helots, and fearing capture by the Ephors and others, he fled to a temple and starved to death.

[生]?
[没]前470頃
古代ギリシア，スパルタの摂政。スパルタ王クレオンブロトス1世の子。ペルシア戦争中の前 480年テルモピュレで戦死したレオニダスの息子の摂政となった。前 479年スパルタとアテネを主とするギリシア連合軍を指揮し，プラタイアイでアケメネス朝のペルシア軍に大勝。翌年連合艦隊を率いてビザンチオンを占領したが，その尊大な態度とペルシア風の生活様式を取入れたために，忠誠を疑われ，同盟諸市のスパルタに対する信頼も低下した。ペルシア王との結びつきを疑われ，2度もスパルタへ召還されたが放免された。しかしヘロットの反乱に加担したと疑われ，エフォロスらに捕えられることを恐れ，神殿に逃げ込み餓死した。
