'Our greatest living expert on Sparta' - Tom Holland, author of Rubicon

The definitive account of the extraordinary people of Sparta. The Spartan legend has inspired and captivated subsequent generations with evidence of its legacy found in both the Roman and British Empires.

The Spartans are our ancestors, every bit as much as the Athenians. But while Athens promoted democracy, individualism, culture and society, their great rivals Sparta embodied militarism, totalitarianism, segregation and brutal repression . . .

As ruthless as they were self-sacrificing, their devastatingly successful war rituals made the Spartans the ultimate fighting force, epitomized by Thermopylae. While slave masters to the Helots for over three centuries, Spartan women, such as Helen of Troy, were free to indulge in education, dance and sport.
