Pleistarchus （*Plei/starxos). 1. King of Sparta, of the line of the Agids, was the son and successor of the heroic Leonidas, who was killedin at Thermopylae, B. C. 489.

It appears that the latter continued to administer affairs in the name of the young king till his own death, about B. C. 467 (Thuc. 1.132).

C. 458. (Paus. 3.5.1; Diod. 13.75; Clinton, F. H. vol. ii. p. 210.) No particulars of his reign are recorded to u
