Demaratus lang el was a king of Sparta from 515 until 491 BC, of the Kings of Sparta Eurypontid Eurypontid line , successor to his father Ariston king of Sparta Ariston . As king, he is known chiefly for his opposition to the other, co ruling Spartan king, Cleomenes I . Biography When Cleomenes attempted to make Isagoras tyrant in Athens, Demaratus tried unsuccessfully to frustrate his plans. In 501 BC, Aegina was one of the states which gave the symbols of submission earth and water to Persia. Athens at once appealed to Sparta to punish this act of medism , and Cleomenes I crossed over to the island to arrest those responsible. His first attempt was unsuccessful, due to interference from Demaratus, who did his utmost to bring Cleomenes into disfavour at home. In retaliation, Cleomenes urged Leotychidas , a relative and personal enemy of Demaratus, to claim the throne on the ground that the latter was not really the son of Ariston, but of Agetus, his mother s first husband. Cleomenes bribed the Delphic oracle , to pronounce in favor of Leotychidas, who became king in 491 BC. After the deposition of Demaratus, Cleomenes visited the island of Aegina for a second time, accompanied by his new colleague Leotychides, seized ten of the leading citizens and deposited them at Athens as hostages. On his abdication, Demaratus was forced to flee. He went to the court of the Persian king Darius I , who gave him the cities of Pergamum , Teuthrania and Halisarna, where his descendants Eurysthenes Pergamon Eurysthenes and Procles still ruled at the beginning of the 4th century.

Orphan date February 2009 Refimprove date February 2008 The period of the 5th century BC in classical Greece is generally considered as beginning in 500 and ending in 404, though this is debated. This century is essentially studied from the Athenian viewpoint, since Athens has left us more narratives, plays and other written works than the other Greek states. If one looks at Athens, our principal source, one might consider that this century begins in 510, with the fall of the Athenian tyrant and Cleisthenes s reforms. If one looks at the whole Greek world, however, we might place its beginning at the Ionian revolt in 500, that provoked the Persian invasion of 492. The Persians called Medes were finally defeated in 490. A second Persian attempt failed in 481 479. The Delian League then formed, under Athenian hegemony and as Athens instrument. Athens excesses caused several revolts among the allied cities, which were all put down by force, but Athenian dynamism finally awoke Sparta and brought about the Peloponnesian War in 431. After both sides were exhausted, a brief peace occurred, and then the war resumed to Sparta s advantage. Athens was definitively defeated in 404, and some internal Athenian agitations ended the 5th century in Greece.
