Agasicles

Agasicles, Agesicles or Hegesicles (Αγασικλης, 'Αγησικλης, 'Ηγησικης) was a king of Sparta, the thirteenth of the line of Procles.

He was contemporary with the Agid Leon and suc­ceeded his father Archidamus I, probably about 590 BC or 600. During his reign the Lacedae­monians carried on an unsuccessful war against Tegea, but prospered in their other wars. (Herod. i. 65; Paus. iii. 7, § 6, 3. §. 5.)
