Through his Lives of Sparta's leaders and his recording of memorable Spartan Sayings he depicts a people who lived frugally and mastered their emotions in all aspects of life, who also disposed of unhealthy babies in a deep chasm, introduced a gruelling regime of military training for boys, and treated their serfs brutally. Rich in anecdote and detail, Plutarch's writing brings to life the personalities and achievements of Sparta with unparalleled flair and humanity.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: HistoryTopic: Ancient HistoryAuthor: PlutarchRelease Year: 2005 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
