This book, written by one of the world&#8217;s leading experts on Sparta, traces the rise and fall of Spartan society and explores the tremendous influence the Spartans had on their world and even on ours. Paul Cartledge brings to life figures like legendary founding father Lycurgus and King Leonidas, who embodied the heroism so closely identified with this unique culture, and he shows how Spartan women enjoyed an unusually dominant and powerful role in this hyper-masculine society. Based firmly on original sources, <b>The Spartans</b> is the definitive book about one of the most fascinating cultures of ancient Greece. 3199212 book 2002 The Spartans: The World of the Warrior-heroes of Ancient Greece total:115|5:10|4:55|3:41|2:8|1:1| 115 410 184 16 2718833 1433204991 9781433204999 4 3 3.57 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2718833.The_Spartans_The_World_of_the_Warrior_heroes_of_Ancient_Greece 3 0 false Sun Aug 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 09:02:51 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 09:21:06 -0700 2009
