Classical Sparta (Routledge Revivals)

- Techniques Behind Her Success

About Classical Sparta (Routledge Revivals)

This collection, first published in 1989, investigates aspects of the Spartan polity which have often been overlooked or underestimated. Recent studies have emphasised permanent problems which beset Sparta: the small size of her citizen body, the tensions between noble Spartiates and commoners, the ambiguous role of women, and, of course, the helots. Classical Sparta: Techniques Behind Her Success seeks to present this intriguing polis by exploring how its perennial difficulties were, for so long, ingeniously overcome. Specifically, the essays in this volume address themselves to broadly ideological issues, demonstrating how skilful propaganda and deception contributed significantly to the longevity of the Spartan state.
