Κλεομένους τοῦ Ἀναξανδρίδου

Κλεομένης ὁ Ἀναξανδρίδου3 τὸν μὲν Ὅμηρον Λακεδαιμονίων εἶναι ποιητὴν ἔφη, τὸν δὲ Ἡσίοδον τῶν εἰλώτων: τὸν μὲν γὰρ ὡς χρὴ πολεμεῖν, τὸν δὲ ὡς χρὴ γεωργεῖν παρηγγελκέναι.

ἀνοχὰς δὲ ἑφθημέρους πρὸς Ἀργείους ποιησάμενος, φυλάξας αὐτούς, τῇ τρίτῃ νυκτὶ κοιμωμένοις διὰ τὸ πεποιθέναι ταῖς σπονδαῖς ἐπέθετο: καὶ τοὺς μὲν ἀπέκτεινε, τοὺς δὲ αἰχμαλώτους ἔλαβεν.
