king, of the Eurypontid See also:family, was descended from See also:Theopompus through his younger son Anaxandridas (See also:Herod. viii. 131), and in 491 B.C. succeeded See also:Demaratus (q.v.), whose See also:title to the See also:throne he had with Cleomenes' aid successfully challenged. He took See also:part in Cleomenes' second expedition to See also:Aegina, on which ten hostages were seized and handed over to the Athenians for safe custody: for this he narrowly escaped being surrendered to the Aeginetans after Cleomenes' See also:death. In the See also:spring of 479 we find him in command of the See also:Greek See also:fleet of no See also:ships, first at Aegina and afterwards at See also:Delos. In See also:August he attacked the See also:Persian position at Mycale on the See also:coast of See also:Asia See also:Minor opposite See also:Samos, inflicted a crushing defeat on the See also:land-See also:army, and annihilated the fleet which was See also:drawn up on -the See also:shore. Soon afterwards he sailed See also:home with the Peloponnesians, leaving the Athenians to prosecute the See also:siege of Sestos. In 476 he led an army to See also:Thessaly to punish the Aleuadae of Larisa for the aid they had rendered to the Persians and to strengthen Spartan See also:influence in See also:northern See also:Greece. After a See also:series of successful engagements he accepted a bribe from the enemy to withdraw. For this he was brought to trial at See also:Sparta, and to See also:save his See also:life fled to the See also:temple of See also:Athena Alea at See also:Tegea. See also:Sentence of See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile was passed, his See also:house was razed and his See also:grand-
son Archidamus II. ascended the throne (Herod. vi. 65-87,
ix. 90-114; See also:Thucydides i. 89; See also:Pausanias iii. 4. 3. 7. 9-10;
See also:Plutarch, De malignitate Herodoti, 21, p. 859 D; Diodorus xi, 34-37).
According to Diodorus (xi. 48) Leotychides reigned twenty-two, his successor Archidamus See also:forty-two years. The See also:total duration of the two reigns, sixty-four years, we know to be correct, for Leotychides came to the throne in 491 and Archidamus (q.v.) died in 427. On this basis, then, Leotychides's exile would fall in 469 and the Thessalian expedition in that or the preceding See also:year (so E. See also:Meyer, Geschichte See also:des Altertunis, iii. § 287). But Diodorus is not consistent with himself ; he attributes (xi. 48) Leotychides's death to the year 476–475 and he records (xii. 35) Archidamus's death in 434–433, though he introduces him in the following years at the See also:head of the Peloponnesian army (xii. 42, 47, 52). Further, he says expressly
that Leotychides EreaeGTnaev &peas Er~7 e1Kooa Kai 56o, i.e. he lived
twenty-two years after his See also:accession. The twenty-two years, then, may include the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time which elapsed between his exile and his death. In that See also:case Leotychides died in 469, and 476–475 may be the year in which his reign, though not his life, ended. This date seems, from what we know of the See also:political situation in See also:general, to be more probable than the later one for the Thessalian See also:campaign.

See also:Grote, History of Greece, new edition 1888, iv. 349, note; also abridged edition 1907, p. 273, note 3. Beloch's view (Griech. Geschichte, i. 455, note 2) that the expedition took See also:place in 476, the trial and See also:flight in 469, is not generally accepted. (M. N.
