[5] It was this Theopompos who put an end to the war, and my evidence is the lines of Tyrtaeus, which say:

“To our king beloved of the gods, Theopompos, through whom we took Messene with wide dancing-grounds.”

Tyrtaeus, unknown location.

Aristomenes then in my view belongs to the time of the second war, and I will relate his history when I come to this.
