| HERACLIDES, Greek Mythology Link. (2225 words) |
 | In Lacedaemon and Sparta, as the sons of Aristodemus were twins (Procles 2 and Eurysthenes 1), there arose two royal houses. |
| By his wife Argia 4 he became the father of the twins Eurysthenes 1 and Procles 2, who are the founders of the two royal houses of Sparta. |
| Procles 2 and his twin brother Eurysthenes 1 were bitter enemies, but they won by lot the kingdom of Lacedaemon and decided to institute two royal houses in Lacedaemon (Sparta) [Apd.2.8.2-5; Pau.3.1.5-7, 3.7.1, 3.16.6, 4.3.4ff.; Strab.8.5.5]. |
