The Cleomenean War (229 BC/228 BC – 222 BC) was fought between Sparta and its ally, Elis, against the Achaean League and Macedon. The war ended in a Macedonian and Achaean victory. In 235 BC, Cleomenes III ascended the throne of Sparta and began a program of reform aimed at restoring traditional Spartan discipline while weakening the influence of the ephors, elected officials who wielded extraordinary political power, although they were sworn to uphold the rule of Sparta's kings.

  • The Cleomenean War (229 BC/228 BC – 222 BC) was fought between Sparta and its ally, Elis, against the Achaean League and Macedon. The war ended in a Macedonian and Achaean victory. In 235 BC, Cleomenes III ascended the throne of Sparta and began a program of reform aimed at restoring traditional Spartan discipline while weakening the influence of the ephors, elected officials who wielded extraordinary political power, although they were sworn to uphold the rule of Sparta's kings. When the ephors sent Cleomenes to seize a town on the border with Megalopolis, the Achaeans declared war in 229 BC. Cleomenes responded by ravaging Achaea; he defeated an army under Aratus that was sent to attack Elis at Mount Lycaeum, and then routed a second army near Megalopolis. Meanwhile, in domestic politics, he ordered the assassination of the ephors. In quick succession, Cleomenes cleared the cities of Arcadia of their Achaean garrisons, before crushing another Achaean force at Dyme. Facing Spartan domination of the League, Aratus was forced to turn to Antigonus III Doson of Macedon and request that he assist the Achaeans' efforts to defeat the Spartans. In return for Macedonian assistance, the Achaeans were obliged to surrender Acrocorinth to Antigonus. Cleomenes eventually invaded Achaea, seizing control of both Corinth and Argos. When Antigonus arrived in the Peloponnese, however, Cleomenes was forced to retreat to Laconia. He fought the Achaeans and the Macedonians at Sellasia, but the Spartans were routed. Cleomenes then fled to the court of his ally, Ptolemy III of Egypt, where he ultimately committed suicide in the wake of a failed revolt.

  • La Guerra de Cleómenes fue un conflicto militar ocurrido entre Esparta y sus aliados de Elis contra la Liga Aquea y Macedonia. La guerra concluyó con la victoria macedonia y aquea. En 235 a. C. , Cleómenes III ascendió al trono de Esparta y comenzó un programa de reformas para recuperar la antigua disciplina espartana y deponer a los éforos. Cuando estos enviaron a Cleómenes a capturar una ciudad ubicada en la frontera con Megalópolis, los aqueos declararon la guerra en 229 a. C. Cleómenes respondió arrasando Acaya, derrotó en el monte Liceo a un ejército liderado por Arato de Sición que había sido enviado a atacar Elis y a un segundo ejército cerca de Megalópolis. En cuanto a su política interior, ordenó el asesinato de los éforos. En rápida sucesión, Cleómenes despojó a las ciudades de Arcadia de sus guarniciones aqueas, para luego aplastar a otra fuerza enemiga en Dime. Enfrentando la dominación de la Liga por parte de Esparta, Arato debió solicitar el socorro de Antígono III de Macedonia para vencer a los espartanos. A cambio por la ayuda proporcionada, los aqueos tuvieron que entregar el Acrocorinto a Antígono. Cleómenes invadió Acaya y tomó el control de Corinto y Argos; sin embargo, cuando Antígono llegó al Peloponeso, el rey espartano debió retirarse a Laconia. El ejército aqueo-macedonio se enfrentó al espartano en Selasia, donde los últimos fueron derrotados. Cleómenes huyó a la corte de su aliado Ptolomeo III de Egipto, lugar donde eventualmente se suicidó tras el fracaso de una revuelta contra los lágidas.

  • The German historian Barthold Georg Niebuhr criticizes Aratus' alliance with Macedon, arguing that "old Aratus sacrificed the freedom of his country by an act of high treason, and gave up Corinth rather than establish the freedom of Greece by a union among the Peloponnesians, which would have secured to Cleomenes the influence and power he deserved." Niebuhr, ''''.
  • The position of the ephors was first introduced in Sparta according to Plutarch in 700 BC by King Theopompus. The ephors were five men who were elected annually by the Spartan assembly and once they held the post once they could not do so again.Plutarch. ''Plutarch on Sparta'', 7. The ephors looked after the day to day running of the state and were the arbiters of war and peace. The position was created to check and restrain the power of the King.Lemprière, 252.
