unusual facts about Leotychides, son of Agis



Agis II

Agis left a son, Leotychides, who however was excluded from the throne, as there was some suspicion with regard to his legitimacy.

Later writers assign as a reason that Agis suspected Alcibiades of having slept with his queen, Timaea (and fathered Leotychides).

Battle of Plataea

The navy, now under the command of the Spartan king Leotychides, thus skulked off Delos, while the remnants of the Persian fleet skulked off Samos, both sides unwilling to risk battle.
