Sparta. The Battles that Forged the Legend
Description
We have always heard Sparta spoken of as a military superpower of the ancient
times. However, most of the works that have been written on it have been
limited to describing the general aspects of the Lacedaemonian society as a
whole, forgetting or, indeed, tiptoeing around the most characteristic aspect
of its configuration: its militarism.The war element has occupied a limited
space within the great works of the more famous Spartan Historians, being
reduced to few sections in the overall context of the work. We know, thanks to
these, military characteristics such as the discipline or strict education
that Spartan boys were subjected to from early childhood. Nevertheless, we
know only tangentially the practical applications this discipline had on the
land. That is the main reason I felt compelled to make the decision to carry
out this brief compilation of battles that, either by their historical or
tactical importance, serve as a basis for a more concrete understanding of the
Spartan military spectrum and, by extension, the war. Read more
