Cleonymus of Sparta

Spartan pretender

340 BCE to 271 BCE

Cleonymus is a member of the Spartan royal family of the Agiads.

He is the second son of Cleomenes II and a pretender to the Spartan throne.

He does not succeed his father (died 309/308 BCE), allegedly because he is violent and tyrannic.

His nephew Areus I becomes the new king instead.

Hence, he nurses a grudge against his fellow Spartans.
