Epitadeus was an early 4th century BCE Spartan ephor, who strengthened conservative class distinctions by allowing gifts of land to independent citizens (Spartiates). This 4th Century rhetra allowed the Spartiatai to dispose of their private land at will rather than by conventional hereditary descent.
