Pausanias (died 425 BCE) was one of the two Kings of Sparta, ruling with Archidamos of Sparta, during the Peloponnesian War. Pausanias was also a Sage of the Cult of Kosmos.
Following the unveiling of Pausanias as a member of the Cult of Kosmos, he was dethroned and exiled from the city. Shortly thereafter, he was assassinated by the misthios Kassandra.[1]
Trivia
- Traditionally, Sparta was simultaneously ruled by two kings from two families, the Eurypontids and the Agiads, which according to tradition both descended from Heracles. While Archidamos was an Eurypontid, Pausanias was a scion of the Agiad dynasty like Myrrine, Kassandra and Alexios, his grandfather being the nephew of King Leonidas.
- Historically, Pausanias did not die in 425 BCE. He was however removed from kingship around that time when his father, Pleistoanax, was recalled from exile. Pausanias would regain the throne in 408 BCE with the death of his father and rule Sparta until 395 BCE when he too went into exile, dying some unknown time after that.
