Story37
The Spartans of ancient Greece are typically portrayed as macho heroes: noble, laconic, totally fearless, and impervious to pain. And indeed, they often lived up to this image. But life was not as simple as this image suggests. In truth, ancient Sparta was a city of contrasts.

Story34
More than 2,500 years ago, a confederation of small Greek city-states defeated the invading armies of Persia, the most powerful empire in the world. In this meticulously researched study, historian Paul Rahe argues that Sparta was responsible for the initial establishment of the Hellenic defensive coalition and was, in fact, the most essential player in its ultimate victory.

Story3
In 431 BC, the long simmering rivalry between the city-states of Athens and Sparta erupted into open warfare, and for more than a generation the two were locked in a life-and-death struggle. The war embroiled the entire Greek world, provoking years of butchery previously unparalleled in ancient Greece. Whole cities were exterminated, their men killed, their women and children enslaved.

In a continuation of his multivolume series on ancient Sparta, Paul Rahe narrates the second stage in the six decades long, epic struggle between Sparta and Athens that first erupted some 17 years after their joint victory in the Persian Wars. Rahe explores how and why open warfare between these two erstwhile allies broke out a second time, after they had negotiated an extended truce.

Story17
During the Persian Wars, Sparta and Athens worked in tandem to defeat what was, in terms of relative resources and power, the greatest empire in human history. For the decade and a half that followed, they continued their collaboration until a rift opened and an intense, strategic rivalry began. In a continuation of his series on ancient Sparta, noted historian Paul Rahe examines the grounds for their alliance, the reasons for its eventual collapse, and the first stage in an enduring conflict that would wreak havoc on Greece for six decades.

Story0
Non è semplice spiegare cos'ha rappresentato Sparta per il mondo antico. La polis ellenica infatti non solo è stata la storica rivale di Atene, ma un vero simbolo per tutta la Grecia classica e non solo. Il mito di Sparta oggi, dopo più di 2 mila anni, è ancora vivo più che mai grazie alle pluripremiate graphic novel di Frank Miller e alle loro trasposizioni cinematografiche. Può un popolo vivere soltanto in funzione della guerra e del valore militare? Per quanto possa sembrare assurdo la risposta è sì. L'incredibile storia di Sparta è qui a dimostrarcelo.

Story0
Many of the city-states of Ancient Greece gave the world a legacy rich in art, literature, poetry, philosophy, and science. But one such state distinguished itself by embracing something very different: a warrior lifestyle, a denial of luxury and wealth, and a focus on the collective rather than the individual. While most other Ancient Greek city-states have been forgotten, the name of that city remains in use in the English language today, meaning austere or rigorous: Spartan.

Culminadas dos de las tres guerras médicas entre el mundo heleno y Persia, un nuevo orden se había instaurado en el mundo occidental del siglo V a.C. Los griegos se habían convertido en el muro de defensa de Europa, con el consiguiente desarrollo y riqueza derivado de tal condición. Sin embargo, el éxito muy pronto traería envidias, resentimientos e intolerancias sobre todo en sus dos pueblos más importantes.
