Sparta – its legendary warriors and steadfast resilience are famous throughout the world as a model for toughness, justice and masculinity. The Spartans’ reputation as fighters is matched only by their mythic code of honour. Their torch has been carried by footballers and politicians, video games and philosophers alike. But who really were the Spartans? And what was the driving force behind the rise – and dramatic fall – of Sparta? This book traces the story of Ancient Greece’s most iconic city-state, from its humble beginnings as a hamlet in the Peloponnese to its meteoric rise as the foremost military superpower of the Classical world. Andrew Bayliss uncovers the eclectic quirks that set Sparta above its rivals: its famous double monarchy, the harsh methods for raising children as soldiers and the unique role of women in Spartan life.
