Sparta has long fascinated
observers. Even in ancient times, its unique Constitution and
society was studied, analysed, praised and criticized. Our knowledge of
Ancient Sparta is largely based on the commentary and observations of
visitors - who naturally viewed it through the distorting glass of
their own experience and values. The only genuinely Spartan
sources to which we have access today is the evidence of
archaeology. Since to this day the site of Ancient Sparta has
never been completely or systematically excavated, this evidence is
incomplete at best. Nevertheless, the findings of archaeology and
new historical approaches such as women's studies have led to
considerable revision in the traditional image of Sparta. ![]() ![]() Ancient Sparta Image Gallery Published Historical Novels Set in Ancient Sparta by Helena Schrader: Olympic Charioteer Are They Singing in Sparta?
