Ancient Sparta still fascinates the modern imagination. This unit examines Ancient Sparta from multiple perspectives, from its early history and ancient institutions to the imagined state of the Western philosophical and political tradition. Modern interpretations of Ancient Sparta will be put to the test via close reevaluations of key ancient evidence. Across the unit approaches will be sought to explain why the Modern world's fascination with Sparta is so enduring.
