Histories

They say that when the Scythians had come for this purpose, Cleomenes kept rather close company with them, and by consorting with them more than was fitting he learned from them to drink strong wine. The Spartans consider him to have gone mad from this. Ever since, as they themselves say, whenever they desire a strong drink they call for “a Scythian cup.” Such is the Spartan story of Cleomenes; but to my thinking it was for what he did to Demaratus that he was punished thus.

When the Aeginetans heard that Cleomenes was dead, they sent messengers to Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta to cry out against Leutychides concerning the hostages that were held at Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens. The Lacedaemonians then assembled a court and gave judgment that Leutychides had done violence to the Aeginetans; and they condemned him to be given up and carried to +Aegina [23.433,37.75] (inhabited place), Aegina, Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Aegina in requital for the men that were held at Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens.
