Eucleides
5. The brother of Cleomenes III. king of Sparta.
He commanded a division of the forces of the latter at the battle of Seliasia, B. C. 223, and by his unskilful tactics in a great degree brought about the defeat of the Lacedaemonians.
He fell with the whole of the wing which he commanded. (
