When the armies were about to join battle, the Corinthians, coming to the conclusion that they were acting wrongly, changed their minds and departed. Later Demaratus son of Ariston, the other king of Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta, did likewise, despite the fact that he had come with Cleomenes from Sparta [22.416,37.83] (inhabited place), Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Lacedaemon in joint command of the army and had not till now been at variance with him.

As a result of this dissension, a law was made at Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta that when an army was despatched, both kings would not be permitted to go with it. Until that time they had both gone together, but now one of the kings was released from service and one of the sons of Tyndarus too could be left at home. Before that time, both of these also were asked to give aid and went with the army.

So now at +Eleusis [23.5583,38.0417] (Perseus) Eleusis, when the rest of the allies saw that the Lacedaemonian kings were not of one mind and that the Corinthians had left their host, they too went off.
