550 BC - 510 BC
Ariston (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 BCE to shortly after 510 BCE. 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
