19.8 Observing that his son was fighting impetuously against the Athenians, he said, Either add to your strength, or subtract from your courage.

ARCHIDAMUS, SON OF AGESILAUS Archidamus III., king of Sparta, 361-338 B.C.

20.1 Archidamus, the son of Agesilaus, when Philip after the battle of Chaeroneia, wrote him a somewhat haughty letter, wrote in reply, If you should measure your own shadow, you would not find that it has become any greater than before you were victorious.

20.2 Being asked how much land the Spartans controlled, he said, As much as they can reach with the spear. Cf. the note on Moralia, 210 E (28), supra.

20.3 Periander, the physician, was distinguished in his profession and commended very very highly, but was a writer of wretched verses. Why in the world, Periander, said Archidamus, do you yearn to be called a bad poet instead of a skilful physician?

20.4 In the war against Philip, when some proffered the advice that they ought to engage him in battle at a good distance from their own land, The policy of Demosthenes (e.g. Olynthiac i. ad fin.). Archidamus said, No, that is not what we ought to look to, but where, in fighting, we shall be superior to the enemy.

20.5 In answer to those who commended him when he had been victorious in battle The tearless battle in 368 B.C. described by Xenophon, Hellenica, vii. 1. 28-32. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Agesilaus against the Arcadians, he said, It would have been better if we had vanquished them by intelligence rather than by strength.

20.6 When he invaded Arcadia, he learned that the Eleans were supporting the Arcadians, and so he sent this letter to them: Archidamus to the Eleans. Quiet is a good thing. The saying is attributed to Periander by Diogenes Laertius, i. 97.
