abstract
  • Leonida of Sparta (329 BC - present) Daughter of Arios I and Chelidonis, Leonida was never meant to ascend to the throne of Sparta. At fifteen years old, she was “chosen” by the goddess Athene to serve as one of Her handmaidens in Sparta’s quasi-military Temple, and here she was to stay for the next six years. However, when Leonida was twenty-one, her father died suddenly, leaving the Spartans in the unthinkable position of having only one ruler (Spartan tradition dictated that there must be two rulers at all times). Liberal in their attitudes towards women as they were, the Spartan Gerousia were still reluctant to hand the reins of total power over to a female - especially one as young and untried as Leonida. The Spartan priesthood argued that Leonida’s education in the Temple was preparation – as close to the agoge as a woman could receive – and, further, it was the will of the Athene that she become queen. The Gerousia were not convinced, seeing this as a grab for power by the Temples – if anyone was going to control Leonida, it would be they, not the priesthood. However, once religion had been brought into the equation, it was as factor that could not be ignored. The ever-pious Spartans sent a delegation to the Oracle at Delphi to discover if they should break with tradition and allow Leonida to rule. Inexplicably, the answer came back as a resounding yes. Further, not only was Leonida to be Queen, the Oracle revealed that this was the edict of Athene Herself – Leonida was “chosen one.” The Gerousia had to swallow it, and amidst muted celebrations, Leonida, Daughter of Arios, became Leonida I of Sparta.
