Abstract
Lysander, though only a moderate general, achieved a short-lived pre-eminence in Sparta and the East, enforcing a tyrannical rule of harmosts and decarchies on other cities by treachery, mass murder, the worship of himself as a god, and notably the corruption of his associates. The moral and military decline in Sparta under his influence, and that of his successor Agesilaus, destroyed the city's reputation, denuded its resources, and ultimately left it isolated from the Greek world.
