In his early life, this son of Cratesicleia was greatly influenced by the Stoic philosopher Sphaerus of Borysthenes, and Plutarch reports that a great snake protected his body after he and his men committed suicide following a failed revolt against Sosibius and Ptolemy IV Philopator. He reinstated the Pyrrhic dance and introduced the large sarissa pike, while he used Lydiades' foolish chase to win the Battle of Ladoceia and take Melagapolis, a city he would destroy. This man, influenced by his wife's ex-husband Agis IV, killed the ephors in an attempt rid his city of corruption, though the death of his brother Eucleidas at Sellasia would eventually allow Antigonus III Doson to take this man's city during his war with Aratus of Sicyon and the Achaean League. For fifteen points, name this son of Leonidas II, a Spartan king.
