A Companion to Sparta: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "A Companion to Sparta" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Home to perhaps the most celebrated warrior elite the world has ever known, few societies have left a more enduring legacy than the ancient Greek city-state of Sparta. A Companion to Sparta gives readers a unique and immersive look at this incredible society and its effect on the world. In this two-volume collection, authors combine cutting-edge research and innovative insights of their own with accessible surveys of recent scholarship on Spartas archaeology and history-from its mist-shrouded origins in the Greek Dark Ages following the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization to the waning days of the late Roman Empire.;Along with coverage of the full evolutionary sweep of classical Spartas politics and warfare, essays highlight cultural topics such as Spartas distinctive systems of education and religion, athletics, music, plastic art, and vase-painting; as well as its influence on the modern world and reception in Europe and North America. Of particular note are chapters addressing such themes as the unique roles of women, state-owned Helots, and perioikoi (free, yet non-citizen inhabitants) in ancient Spartan society.;Anton Powell is Director of the Classical Press of Wales, and an internationally recognized authority on Sparta, Athens, and the Roman Revolution. He founded the International Sparta Seminar, and co-edited a succession of collective volumes which have contributed to the revival and reshaping of Spartan studies. --Book Jacket.;Machine generated contents note: Notes on Contributors -- Foreword -- Preface / Paul Cartledge -- Part I Reconstructing Sparta: General / Paul Cartledge -- 1.
