Leonidas I (Sparta, c. 540 BC – Thermopylae, August or October 480 BC) was an ancient Greek who served as king of Sparta from the dynasty of the Agiades. His father was King Anaxandridas II (or Alexandridas otherwise), who had four sons: Kleomenis from his second wife and three sons (Dorias, Leonidas, Cleombrotus) from his first wife. It was believed that he was a descendant of Hercules. Leonidas ascended the throne in 488 BC. after his half-brother Kleomenis, whom his father had acquired from his second wife. Leonidas, as a third-born son, did not expect to become king. But Kleomenis was exiled and eventually died in a prison in Sparta, and Dorias had died in Sicily leading a group of mercenaries.
