Open translation for this passage
Ἀρίστωνι δὲ τῷ Ἀγησικλέους ἀγαγομένῳ γυναῖκα ἥντινα παρθένον μὲν τῶν ἐν Λακεδαίμονι εἶναί φασιν αἰσχίστην, γυναικῶν δὲ τὸ εἶδος καλλίστην ὑπὸ Ἑλένης γενέσθαι, ταύτην ἀγαγομένῳ τῷ Ἀρίστωνι ἐγένετο υἱὸς Δημάρατος ἐν μόνοις μησὶν ἑπτά·
Complex anacoluthic construction: Ἀρίστωνι is the dative possessor/experiencer with ἐγένετο, while the repeated dative participles ἀγαγομένῳ are circumstantial; ἥντινα introduces an embedded description with accusative-and-infinitive clauses. The final ἐν μόνοις μησὶν ἑπτά means 'in only seven months'.
