Archidamus III (Greek: Αρχίδαμος), the son of Agesilaus II, was king of Sparta from 360 BC to 338 BC.
Archidamus headed the force sent to aid the Spartan army after its defeat by the Thebans at the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC and was commander later during the fighting in the Peloponnese.
In 342 BC Archidamus arrived in Italy with a fleet and an army and fought against the barbarians, but in 338 BC he was defeated and killed under the walls of Manduria.
Archidamus II was a king of Sparta who reigned from approximately 469 BC to 427 BC.
Archidamus was one of the kings of Sparta in the years preceding the Peloponnesian War.
His coolness and presence of mind are said to have saved the Spartan state from destruction on the occasion of the great earthquake of 464 BC, but this story must be regarded as at least doubtful.
