So Demaratus reached Asia (continent)Asia through such chances, a man who had gained much renown in Sparta [22.416,37.83] (inhabited place), Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Lacedaemon by his many achievements and his wisdom, and by conferring on the state the victory in a chariot-race he had won at Olympia [21.6333,37.65] (Perseus)Olympia; he was the only king of Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta who did this.

Leutychides son of Menares succeeded to the kingship after Demaratus was deposed. A son was born to him, Zeuxidemus, called by some of the Spartans Cyniscus. This Zeuxidemus never became king of Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta, for he died before Leutychides, leaving his son Archidemus.

After the loss of Zeuxidemus, Leutychides married a second wife, Eurydame, sister of Menius and daughter of Diactorides; by her he had no male offspring, but a daughter, Lampito, to whom Archidemus son of Zeuxidemus was married by Leutychides.
