Epaminondas being slain, there was a general peace again concluded, from which Agesilaus's party excluded the Messenians, as men that had no city, and therefore would not let them swear to the league; to which when the rest of the Greeks admitted them, the Lacedaemonians broke off, and continued the war alone, in hopes of subduing the Messenians. In this Agesilaus was esteemed a stubborn and headstrong man, and insatiable of war, who took such pains to undermine the general peace, and to protract the war at a time when he had not money to carry it on with, but was forced to borrow of his friends and raise subscriptions, with much difficulty, while the city, above all things, needed repose. And all this to recover the one poor town of Messene, after he had lost so great an empire both by sea and land, as the Spartans were possessed of, when he began to reign.

白话
埃帕米农达死后，希腊再次缔结普遍和平。但阿格西劳斯一派把美塞尼亚人排除在外，说他们没有城邦，不让他们宣誓加入。其他希腊人接纳了美塞尼亚人，斯巴达便退出和约，独自继续战争，希望征服美塞尼亚。普鲁塔克认为阿格西劳斯固执任性、贪战无厌：他竭力破坏和平、拖延战争，当时斯巴达缺钱，他不得不向朋友借贷、艰难筹款，而城邦最需要休养。他这么做，只为夺回美塞尼亚一座小城，却已丢掉了即位时斯巴达拥有的海陆大帝国。

埃帕米农达死后，底比斯霸权衰落，希腊重订和约，但斯巴达因美塞尼亚问题拒绝签约，事见普鲁塔克《阿格西劳斯传》。

你是否为了一个执念，不惜破坏整体和平，拖垮自己？
