520 3 a| The purpose of this study is to examine in detail the foreign policy of Cleomenes I, who was king in Sparta from 520 to 490 B. C. The major source of information for this study is Herodotus' account of the Persian wars that was written in the mid-fifth century B. C. Other ancient writers also are cited but it is noted very early that they themselves may have relied upon Herodotus as the basis for their own accounts. These Include Aristotle, Plutarch, Socrates of Argos, Polyaenus, Pausanius, and Diogenes Laertius. Frequent references are made also to modem scholarship on this topic in an effort to determine the extent to which recent historians hare been correct in their characterizations of Cleomenes' reign. At the beginning there is a brief Introduction and an opening chapter that describes the nature of the Spartan state. Cleomenes' career is then outlined with special emphasis being given to the development of his foreign policy. It is demonstrated that the latter subject was associated closely with domestic affairs in Sparta at this time and that, largely for this reason, the king's career may be divided into three distinct stages. In the early years of his reign he assumed a relatively inactive role in the formulation of Sparta's foreign policy; directing his attention Instead at laying a basis for the future assertion of his strength. Later in his career he began to champion a very aggressive foreign policy for his native state. He hoped to enhance thereby his own prestige and to strengthen his personal control of domestic politics in Sparta. Then, after having been defeated by his political opponents in this endeavor, Cleomenes finally sought to use his influence to aid in securing a degree of unity among the Greeks in preparation for an imminent Persian invasion.;
