Sparta

Know about the book -

Sparta is written by Stephen Hodkinson and published by Classical Press of Wales. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1914535200 (ISBN 10) and 9781914535208 (ISBN 13).

The study of the Spartans is now pursued more widely and intensively than ever. Indeed, no longer is Sparta the 'second city' of ancient Greece. This volume, the fourth in the established series on which Powell and Hodkinson have collaborated, breaks fresh ground, not least in the range of its contributors. The authors of the fourteen new papers represent nine different countries and demonstrate many of the fertile modern approaches to the history, the archaeology - and the still-influential image - of the city on the Eurotas.
