Icon of person Ariston of Sparta

Ariston (Ancient Greek: Ἀρίστων) was a king of Sparta, 14th of the Eurypontid kings, son of Agasicles, and contemporary of the Agiad king, Anaxandrides II. He reigned from approximately 560 BC to shortly after 510 BC. There are two main sources for him, Herodotus and Pausanias. Of his military or political activities we are told nothing. His claim to fame is that he fathered – or maybe not – his successor, Damaratus, who was later deposed for being illegitimate. Read more on Wikipedia
