Yes, the Spartans had two kings, but they were not hereditary. They were chosen by the council and served for life or until forced from office. They shared power with an elected council of twenty-eight Spartiates (citizens) and also had to answer to an Assembly, consisting of all Spartan citizens (about 8,000 men), as well as a group of five ephors who oversaw the daily functioning of society and had veto power.
