This is Sparta! The Laws of the Legendary State

Ancient Sparta is not only a part of world history but also a part of philosophy. It united the strongest and wisest people of the pre-Christian era. It has carried through the centuries their labors, sayings, which show all the subtleties of daily life and the structure of society of those times. The book collects the sayings of Spartans and Spartan women: the politician Lycurgus, who created a "society of equals"; the king and warlike defender of Sparta, Acrotatus; the king who resisted the empire of Darius, Cleomenes, and many others. The statements are accompanied by comments, allowing the reader to immerse themselves in the historical context. Sparta fell long ago, but its legacy is with us to this day.
