The traditional dates for Anaxandridas and Ariston are 560-520; 560-510. This second Arcadian war (circ. 550 B.C.) is historical; but it is interesting to see that H.'s account is made up of oracles and legendary details (cf. the similar account of the first Aeginetan war, v. 82-7, which is a little earlier in date).
