Eurypontid king
Son of Nikandros
Father of Anaxandridas (and, according to
Pausanias, Archidamos)
His wife Chilonis (the daughter of Kleadas) was
supposed to have saved him from imprisonment at the hands of the Arcadians.
Theopompos ruled contemporaneously with Polydoros
at the time of the First Messenian War. Therefore his time is set in the second
half of the eighth century. He was supposed to have entered his grey old age at
the time of the battle of the Thyreatis.
He must also have played an important role in the
inner politics, especially as the origination of the ephoria was attributed to
him.
On the story of the capture and rescue of
“Theopompos” neither Polyaenus (VIII 34) nor Quintilian (institutiones oratoriae II 17,20) indicate that this Theopompos is King Theopompos. Polyaenus is usually scrupulous about
giving titles to his characters. I think that this is a case of a famous story
(cf. Herodotus IV 146), not a famous individual, and the Theompompos here should
be regarded as another Theopompos or as an individual of another name altogether
whose deed was attached to a famous name.
