Charilaus
Charilaus (Greek: Χαρίλαος), also given as Charillus, was a king of Sparta in the early-mid 8th century BC.
According to Pausanias, Charilaus was the successor of his father Polydectes.[1]
Charilaus is best known as the ward and nephew of the Spartan reformer Lycurgus.[2] During his reign, the Spartans invaded Argolis. The long-standing hostility with Tegea is also believed to date from Charilaus' reign.[1]
Charilaus was succeeded by his son Nicander, the father of Theopompus.[1]
