How to portray a Spartan king from the classical era?
#12
Talthybiadae are descendants of Tlathybios herald of Agamenon.

According to Strabo Doreans were invited by Achean Philonomos at the "Greek Dark Age". Doreans married into the importantachean families

Also thr Neilidae (Acheans too) descendants of Neleas-father of the homeric Nestor were instrumental in bringing the coastal Messenia in Spartan influence.
Spartan law provided granting citizenship under cirmstances.
It probably became extremely strict after the defeat at Hysiai 670 B.C

As for boar and goose were units made Spartan who settled on the conquered Messenian lands. The citizens homioi did not dwell only in Sparta.


Kind regards
