Agis II of Sparta was a king of Sparta and son of Archidamos II.
Biography
Circa 427 BCE, Agis II succeeded his father as king, though he was appointed a guardian because of his young age. Agis, along with Pleistoanax, signed a treaty with the Athenians in 421 BCE known as the Peace of Nikias.[1]
During the third part of the Peloponnesian War, he decided to occupy Dekeleia and control Athens's countryside and access to the Laurion mines. This move restricted the city's ability to finance the war and pay for mercenaries and contributing to Athens's eventual surrender in 404 BCE.[1]
Behind the scenes
Both the Assassin's Creed: Odyssey game and novel show Archidamos alive and reigning as king as late as 424 BCE, even though Agis would've been reigning by then.
