It was in the reign of Cleomenes that Aristagoras the tyrant of Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus came to Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta. When he had an audience with the king, as the Lacedaemonians report, he brought with him a bronze tablet on which the map of all the earth was engraved, and all the sea and all the rivers.
