I have updated the article (enlarging it and removing the stub status) but it could still do with a picture if anyone is up for providing one- Isthatyou
==Untitled== Early Life Section :- "Lysander joined the same barracks as (the soon to be King) Leonidas. Cleomenes died in 489B.C. and was succeeded by his half brother, who would probably have then left his original barracks for the Royal mess. To join a mess Lysander would have to be at least 18yrs.old, at best he could have been born in say 507BC.If we then take his date of death as 395BC. we find a Spartan General aged 108 yrs. leading a military expedition. This may be improbable--203.161.136.218 (talk) 01:55, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Would it not be better that the engraving was captioned as "leader of the Spartans" - that is what the Latin says afaics. Duke comes from the Latin Dux, but Dux means 'leader' 217.41.30.134 (talk)
This page says, "In the Battle of Haliartus, Lysander was killed after bringing his forces too near to the walls of the city." Battle of Haliartus says "Lysander marched his army up to the walls of Haliartus. When an attempt to take the city by subversion failed, he launched an assault on the walls. A sizable Theban force, however, was located nearby, perhaps unbeknownst to Lysander. This force hurried to the assistance of the city's defenders. In heated fighting under the walls of Haliartus, Lysander's force was routed and he himself was killed." One of these accounts must be wrong. Philgoetz (talk) 03:35, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article is tagged as LGBT, but the article text itself contains to reference to this, leaving the LGBT issue stated but without reference.

Lysander was the lover of the future king Agesilaus II. It's mentioned in the article. T8612(talk) 09:01, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
