Nikomedes of Laconia (343 BC – Unknown) was born into the royal house of Sparta, his father being a brother of Araios. He was raised to be proud of being a Spartan of the right of being a Heracleidae, a direct descendent of Heracles. He was the youngest of three sons and held very little hope of ever being any more than another of a long line of commanders that saw little fighting before retiring into politics. But Alexander’s quest for power many assumptions of the time.
The rise and fall of Alexander split the great military commanders and strength of much of Macedon and Greece, save Sparta which had remained unconquered by Macedon. When Alexander’s Empire split into various factions, the door was open for Sparta to reclaim a lost title as defender of the Greek States. And with it, Nikomedes has his opportunity to rise with Sparta. He had the chance to become something of legend.
