065: Antigonid Macedon - The Last March of the Spartans - a podcast by The Hellenistic Age Podcast

Despite the failure of Agis IV to reform a weakened Sparta, a more politically astute (and ruthless) successor could be found in the rival Agiad house, Cleomenes III. Under his reign, Sparta would be restored to a level of power capable enough to bring the Achaean League to its knees during the Cleomenean War (228-222). In a moment of crisis, Aratus of Sicyon would follow the maxim of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", and turn to a most hatred rival: Macedonia, led by the standing regent Antigonus III Doson.
