Talk:List of kings of Sparta

Kings of Sparta
Shouldn't this be under King of Sparta? Or maybe "List of Kings of Sparta"? Deb 17:10 27 May 2003 (UTC)

What is the "little evidence" regarding "the existence of any kings before the middle of the 6th century BC or so"? The current phrasing suggests that that there were none (or at least fewer than were recorded), and calls the accuracy of these lists into question; is this based upon contradictory records, or merely a lack of archeological evidence? If it's the latter, wouldn't it be more historically accurate to say so? Frisbeehobbit (talk) 01:34, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

King Leon
King Leon links to one of his decendents, Leonidas I, changed to red link, or rather a link to people and places named Leon. Highlandlord 12:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Links
Wow, a bunch of the Eurypontids share names with positions and other famous greek people so some of the links are to completely unrelated things. In the near future I plan to add boxes to all of the Eurypontid kings as the Agiads have. Sleep now. Highlandlord 13:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Mythological kings
Is there any reason not to list the earlier mythological kings of Sparta? Tyndareus and Menelaus and so forth would be useful links, I think. john k (talk) 17:48, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Sparta was a republic from 221 to 219 BC.
I am curious about this breif period of Sparta's history, but no where on Wikipedia can I find any details about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.23.208 (talk) 13:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure where this would be discussed, but you might try Polybius. john k (talk) 03:39, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Idea
Don´t you think that the list should be better if we put it in a comparative board like those: [][]?

Is just an idea if anybody cares —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lkhs (talk • contribs) 20:49, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Leonidas I
According to the birth and death years, he died at age 10. That can't be right since he fought (and died) and such an important battle. Will someone please fact check the years of his birth and death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.228.83.112 (talk) 05:19, 23 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Those are dates of his reign. — Pingkudimmi 07:41, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

two Leonidas II
why there are two Leonidas II? --84.108.6.126 (talk) 08:33, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) c. 254 – 242 BC	Leonidas II
 * 2) c. 241 – 235 BC	Leonidas II


 * There's just one. He was briefly replaced by his son-in-law while in self-imposed exile avoiding trial. — Pingkudimmi 07:35, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
