(
Εὐρυκράτης), was the 11th king of Sparta in the Agid house: his reign was coincident with the conclusion of the first Messenian war. (
Paus. 3.3.3.)
II. Grandson of the above, called also (
Hdt. 7.204) Eurycratides, was 13th of the same line, and reigned during the earlier and disastrous part of the war with Tegea (
Hdt. 1.65), which his grandson Anaxandrides brought to a happy issue. (
Paus. 3.3.5.)
