Later Cleomenes' treacherous plot against Demaratus became known; he was seized with fear of the Spartans and secretly fled to +Thessaly [22.25,39.5] (region), Greece, Europe Thessaly. From there he came to +Arcadia [22.25,37.583] (department), Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Arcadia and stirred up disorder, uniting the Arcadians against Sparta [22.4417,37.0667] (Perseus) Sparta; among his methods of binding them by oath to follow him wherever he led was his zeal to bring the chief men of +Arcadia [22.25,37.583] (department), Peloponnese, Greece, Europe Arcadia to the city of Nonacris and make them swear by the water of the Styx. 1
